Abstract: | This paper investigates the uses of personal communication networks by entrepreneurs in Sweden and among “Route 128” companies around the Boston, Massachusetts area. Swedish entrepreneurs appear to use personal contacts as a source of relevant business information less than their American counterparts. Moreover, relatively more successful Swedish entrepreneurs are characterized by access to product development and other business information through experience in the industry, contacts with outside consultants, and extensive travel. |
