Institutional polycentrism, entrepreneurs' social networks, and new venture growth (2013, background): “We know from extant research that entrepreneurs often cultivate and use social networks to access resources (e.g., capital, knowledge, supplies) that facilitate new venture growth (Eisenhardt & Schoonhoven, 1996; Granovetter, 1995; Kim & Aldrich, 2005; Stam & Elfring, 2008; Stuart & Sorenson, 2007).”
