Lecture 4: Entrepreneurial networks as social capital

This is the core lecture of the course.

The relationships an entrepreneur accumulates in a social network

and the sum of potentialities of these relationships are often referred

to as social capital.

This lecture will introduce a new model for social networks. While

mainstream social network models use individual people as nodes, the

model used in this course takes groups of people as nodes. Any set of

two groups are linked by people who are included in both groups. This

is believed to be a more natural representation of human networking.
