“…Although most of the studies that have linked organizational resources or dynamic capacities to survival are based on mature ecosystems, some of these relationships have also been identified in the Latin American context. In this way, social Survival of startups firms in Peruvian context capital has been studied in Argentina, determining that for the performance and survival of the venture, the quality of the contacts is more important than the quantity of contacts of the entrepreneur (Vila et al, 2013).

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to use a combination of resource-based theory and dynamic capabilities theory to explore the phenomenon of startup survival in an emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem.Design/methodology/approachThe study has a phenomenological research design, with an exploratory scope and qualitative approach. It uses in-depth interviews to identify the perceptions of ecosystem agents about the phenomenon of survival.FindingsThis paper argues that startup survival should be studied as a construct that is reflected by four conditions: break-even point, accelerated growth, cash stock and continuous operation. Furthermore, it is formed by the interaction of five mainly interacting resources: human capital, social capital, entrepreneurial capital, organizational capital and the incubation process.Originality/valueThe study offers a holistic model of survival that could be applicable to incipient entrepreneurial ecosystems such as the Peruvian one. This model presents survival as a reflexive-formative construct and not as a dichotomic variable (enterprise operating/enterprise closed) as has been commonly considered in the literature.

“…All of them generating commonalities and at the same time a variety of definitions, because of the broad scope that the subject encompasses: complex network connections between social and economic perspectives (Robison et al, 2002). Recently, many studies have proven the effect of SC on virtual team performance (Chua et al, 2012;Clopton, 2011;Hyejung Lee et al, 2013;Lind & Culler, 2011;Maurer et al, 2011;Powell & Eddleston, 2013;Sparrowe et al, 2001;Stam et al, 2014;Vila et al, 2013;Yu & Junshu, 2013).

“…These three dimensions: the structural (social interaction ties), the relational (trust and trustworthiness), and the cognitive/resources (shared belief, goals, vision) were combined into a model of social capital and value creation which describes that the combination and exchange of information in a network create new sources of value, innovation or support for the entrepreneur (Ghoshal & Tsai, 1998). While the structural dimension describes the pattern of linkages between two parties (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998), it focuses on who to connect to and how to connect to (Burt, 1992), relational dimension refers to the quality of these links (Vila, Fornoni, & Palacios, 2013). And finally, the resource dimension implies the degree to which personal networks possess rich resources and powerful ties that when mobilized will produce high returns (Batjargal, 2003).…”

The literature has widely covered the factors that determine the success of entrepreneurial ventures from financial and organizational perspectives. This study intends to tackle how the Financial Capital, the Human Capital, the Social Capital, and the Psychological Capital of the Entrepreneur affect Entrepreneurial Success. Despite that the Financial, Human, and Social Capitals are extensively examined in the literature as they relate to entrepreneurial success, this paper will add the psychological capital of the entrepreneur and examine its effect on entrepreneurial success in Egypt.This study aimed to investigate the effect of Financial Capital, Human Capital, Social Capital, and Psychological Capital on Entrepreneurial Success using a cross-sectional survey. Respondents were the owners and founders of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Cairo, Egypt. The results revealed that Social Capital and Psychological capital had a statistical significance as well as a positive strong relationship with Entrepreneurial success, while the Financial Capital and the Human Capital had statistical insignificance as well as a positive weak to a very weak relationship with Entrepreneurial success respectively.The study findings suggested that entrepreneurial success is strongly connected to the intangible resources of the entrepreneur, which are Social Capital and Psychological Capital, and that the Psychological Capital had the highest impact on Entrepreneurial success.
