Citations in the corpus

• The role of (transnational) social capital in the start-up processes of immigrant businesses: The case of Chinese and Turkish restaurant businesses in Finland (2012, background): “As noted by earlier research, trust is important since it is a type of social capital that minority and immigrant communities can utilize to be able to compete with the majority (Granovetter, 1995).”
• Enterprise Ritual: A Theory of Entrepreneurial Emotion and Exchange (2008, unknown): “…initially at least, by other interests, or where an explicit concern for immediate exchange benefits would be regarded as inappropriate (such as, say, moral, ethical or 'enthusiast' projects, attempts to build trust and longterm commitment; Granovetter, 2000; Dibben, 2000; Chell and Tracey, 2005).”
• Reassessing Portfolio Entrepreneurship (2003, background): “Greenfield et al., 1979) and economic sociology (notably, Granovetter, 1995 ), scholars have remarked upon the prevalence of multiple business ownership, particularly in developing economies.”
• Institutional polycentrism, entrepreneurs' social networks, and new venture growth (2013, methodology): “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).”
• Immigrant entrepreneurs in advanced economies: Mixed embeddedness further explored (2001, background): “The actors themselves ± the immigrant entrepreneurs ± and their social embeddedness are obviously very important, but these parameters have been dealt with by other authors fairly extensively elsewhere (cf. Granovetter 1985, 1990, 1995; Portes and Sensenbrenner 1993; Waldinger 1996).”
• Developing the entrepreneurial skills of farmers: some myths explored (2006, background): “Many authors approach entrepreneurship as socially embedded activity (Aldrich & Zimmer 1986; Carsrud & Johnson 1989; Granovetter 2000; Jack & Anderson 2002).”
• Planned Luck: How Incubators Can Facilitate Serendipity for Nascent Entrepreneurs Through Fostering Network Embeddedness (2020, background): “A useful lens in this respect is the theory of social embeddedness, which captures the role and importance of social networks for (entrepreneurial) action (Granovetter, 1995; McKeever et al., 2014; Uzzi, 1997).”
• Assessing Social Capital: Small and Medium Sized Enterprises in Germany and the U.K. (2003, background): “Previous literature highlights the importance of informal relationships, trust and solidarity for small business development (Granovetter, 2000).”
• Matching opportunities with resources: A framework for analysing (migrant) entrepreneurship from a mixed embeddedness perspective (2010, background): “Social embeddedness has become a widespread and very fruitful approach to entrepreneurship, in general and immigrant entrepreneurs in particular (Granovetter 1985, 1995; Waldinger 1986; Uzzi 1996, 1997; Portes and Sensenbrenner 1993; Cahn 2008).”
• Social Capital, Investments and External Financing (2015, unknown): “From this informational perspective, several studies apply the idea of social capital in finance and economics (e.g., Granovetter 1975, 1995; Montgomery, 1991; Fafchamps and Minten, 1999; Rauch and Casella, 1991; Hochberg et al. 2007; Cohen et al. 2008).”
• Exploring the strategic skills of farmers across a typology of farm diversification approaches (2010, background): “Hence, the questions of - not only social skills - but of skills implied by the perspective of social embeddedness (Jack and Anderson, 2002; Granovetter, 2000) and of social capital (Markman and Baron, 2003) and human capital (McElwee, 2008) are most relevant in this connection.”
• Cultural economic geography and a relational and microspace approach to trusts, rationalities, networks, and change in collaborative workplaces (2003, background): “Others sociologists, such as Uzzi (1996, 1999) and Granovetter (1995) more recently, have highlighted a dialectic between closed and open networks.”
• The Limits of Guanxi Capitalism: Transnational Collaboration between Taiwan and the USA (2000, background): “Dense ties grow too dense to be broken to form new ties, undermining the ability to balance the coupling and decoupling needed for economic success within ethnic networks ( Granovetter, 1995 ).”
• Returns to Social Network Capital Among Traders (2002, unknown): “, Coleman (1988), Putnam, Leonardi and Nanetti (1993), Granovetter (1985)). Unlike human capital, however, which now is seen as a fundamental dimension of most economic processes, the concept of social capital has yet been little used in economics (e.g., Narayan and Pritchett (1996), Barr (1997, 199”
