Role of Personal Network in the Identification and Exploitation of Business Opportunities
This article proposes to analyze the dynamics of relational configuration of the Tunisian entrepreneur, incubated in a nursery, during the phases of identification and exploitation of business opportunities. A survey was conducted among 97 carriers of innovative projects, installed in 13 Tunisian nurseries. The methodology is based on a descriptive analysis and a comparison test of means (the Student Test for paired samples). Initial results show that the transition from one phase to another generates a change in the type of network and the nature of links mobilized by the contractor.
