Scottish Entrepreneurial Networks in the International Context

Abstract

The research note reports findings of a study into the personal contact networks of Scottish entrepreneurs, and compares these to results already published for other countries (Canada, Greece, Japan, Italy, Northern Ireland, Sweden and the USA). The findings show that variable network behaviour across borders exists. Entrepreneurs from the North East of Scotland exhibit a tendency towards small, tightly-integrated networks. © 2002, SAGE Publications Ltd. All rights reserved.
