“…Students can benefit from social capital accumulated with the help of universities, which connect them with entrepreneurs through various projects and competitions. Besides, interaction with successful entrepreneurs boosts the chances of choosing an entrepreneurial career [Davidsson, Honig, 2003;Liao, Welsch, Tan, 2005]. Therefore, universities should pay attention not only to education initiatives but also to planning and organization of events contributing to the social capital of students and providing an opportunity for discussion of startup-related problems.…”

“…Nascent entrepreneurs are capable of turning their social capital into "relational capital", i. e. to build relationships of trust with their business partners and turn them to good account [Liao, Welsch, Tan, 2005]. Close social ties open up access to useful information and yield emotional support, which is also extremely important in the venture creation process [Davidsson, Honig, 2003].…”

Address: 1/3 Volkhovsky per., 199004 St. Petersburg, Russian Federation.Abstract. The study aims to assess how different types of entrepreneurial capital provided by universities affect student involvement in entrepreneurship. The role of university is analyzed from the embeddedness perspective, where purposeful behavior is largely affected by network relationship and the trust that exists in such relationship. We used data of the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS) as empirical basis for research. A hierarchical regression data analysis revealed that university initiatives to develop human and social capital influenced positively the extent to which students were engaged in entrepreneurship, while financial capital provided by universities had negative effects. We also investigated the moderating effects of previous business experience and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. It was found that previous experience was able to weaken the relationship between all the three types of resources provided by university with the scope of student start-up activities, including the negative effect of access to financial capital. Meanwhile, entrepreneurial self-efficacy intensifies this negative effect and diminishes the positive effects of university support for human and social capital development.

“…Randall and Jaya (2006) used grounded theory in their examination of Russian managers. This approach is evident in Liao et al (2005), who used data-mining techniques to ask ''What are the association and temporal patterns of the events and activities that occur in the venture creation process?' ' Schroeder et al (2000) similarly develop a grounded theory of entrepreneurial process.…”

Applying a grounded-theory approach to analyzing the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data, we attempt to explain why New Zealand exhibits only a moderate level of economic development despite its high level of entrepreneurship. By statistically analyzing why 34 other countries in the 2005 GEM dataset exhibit small deviations from the classical quadratic curvilinear relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development, we develop a better understanding of the entrepreneurial framework conditions underlying New Zealand's large deviation from this trend line. Based on our findings from the GEM data we make policy recommendations that could aid in moving New Zealand (and other countries) closer toward the trend line and thus promote economic development.

“…Furthermore, contemplating the business idea (Liao and Welsch, 2008;Gordon, 2012) and definition of the market opportunity (Liao and Welsch, 2008) should be mentioned. These activities arguably have a positive influence on venture creation (Baron, 2006;Liao et al, 2005).…”

What types of activities are conducted in the early stage of internal corporate venturing in a large manufacturing company? To study these activities, we first performed a literature review that led to a conceptual construct of six activity categories and five process stages. Then, we analysed five projects in our case company. Multiple sources produced an extensive body of data. Our subsequent data analysis resulted in a comprehensive categorization of the key activities and multiple insights concerning their impact on the entrepreneurial mindset and innovation culture of the studied company.
