| Abstract |
Business incubators consider network management as fundamental to the generation of competitive capabilities: currently the most evolving model is known as networked incubation. However, many researchers argue that these two constructs need to be positively related. The study explores the application of Social Network Theory to the field of entrepreneurship through interconnections between incubatees and stakeholders, and the typical magnitudes of the theory. The sample comprises 18 endeavors that had the assistance of external support. The originality of the study lies in the fact that it explores the keys to the successful management of incubation from the perspective of Social Network Analysis. Finally, it provides a series of recommendations for further studies. |
