Lecture Content
Social network is an important tool for new ventures to overcome the “new born disadvantages”, but social network embedding has a dual nature: it can help new ventures to obtain resources, but also needs to pay for the maintenance of network structure. Improper structure embedding may cause new ventures to pay more than the benefits and bring negative effects. Moreover, when a startup business that has financial difficulties cannot meet the needs of the network connection party or the consumer, it will cause dissatisfaction of the other party, resulting in a decrease in market legitimacy and negative performance. This lecture will take the research on the relationship between the embedded structure of performance and the inverted U-shaped relationship of new ventures, analyze the mechanism of social network’s influence on the performance of new ventures, and then explore the application of the frontier issues of social network research in new ventures and the statistical analysis methods of regulatory variables.
All are welcome.
