“…For this reason, the importance of a type of knowledge about other knowledge has been discussed (De Clercq & Arenius, 2006;Morales & Roig, 2005). Through the statistics of an empirical study, there were found significant differences in social networks between entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs (Klyver & Hindle, 2007;Lamine 2017).…”

The objective of this study is to determine whether human and social capital are drivers of entrepreneurship. The methodology involves the estimation of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques such as logistic regressions and correlations of variables. It is focused on information from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor database for 2012 from Germany and Costa Rica. The results demonstrate that human and social capital, factors related to knowledge, have a positive statistical relationship with the propensity to become an entrepreneur. Little difference exists among knowledge-related factors across countries. They are mainly related to the cultural contexts, which affect the propensity to become an entrepreneur

“…The role of the entrepreneur's personal relationships has shown to be critical for international growth (Andersson, ; Andersson & Wictor, ; Debrulle & Maes, ). Research has shown the entrepreneur's personal networks are important to get access to knowledge, opportunities, and resources necessary to develop their firms (Anderson & Jack, ; Galkina & Chetty, 2015; Johannisson, ; Lamine, ; Ostgaard & Birley, ).…”

This study explores which networks are beneficial for gaining resources for firms' internationalization. Little is known about firms' use of organizational, personal, and intermediary networks to gain access to resources for internationalization. Firms are seeking resources through their organization's relationships (organizational networks) and individuals' personal contacts (personal networks). Governmental and industry actors are implementing networks to promote international growth and act as an intermediary between business actors (intermediary networks). We conduct in‐depth interviews with firms and representatives for intermediary networks complemented with a survey. The findings reveal which resources are accessed through the different networks. We find organizational networks provide considerable access to most resources (except financial resources) that are beneficial for internationalization, whereas intermediary networks provide access to reputational, human, and market resources. Personal networks primarily provide access to human resources. This study contributes to theory by giving a more fine‐grained understanding of how different types of networks give access to different resources valuable for internationalization.

“…Obviously, “the individual” responsible for initiating this course is at the center of this process. However, as this process evolves, the individual ultimately connects with other networks of actors that significantly contribute to “the process of entrepreneurial stimulation and learning” (Lamine, , p. 625). It is at this point where the transformative power of entrepreneurship truly reveals its collective nature.…”

Islam, entrepreneurship, and embeddedness

This study centers on the premise that entrepreneurship is an embedded process. Although “the entrepreneur” is inherently an “individual,” entrepreneurship can never be fully disembedded from the more general social settings within which any business venture is situated. An Islamic‐based economic discursive framework should be cognizant of the different forms of sociality, spatiality, and community as well as the various norms, codes, and symbols that define society more generally. The work of Karl Polanyi on embeddedness is engaged and juxtaposed with Islam's understanding of the ideal mode of economic discursive practices. Islamic economic models and Polanyi are both critical of the corrosive effects of unbridled capitalism and individualism that ultimately lead to reification and exploitation. The conclusion recommends more small‐N case studies by researchers and entrepreneurial educational materials that emphasize the importance of networks and local embeddedness.
