A conceptual model of entrepreneurial competencies, social capital and corporate entreprenuership in smes

Abstract

Social capital, corporate entrepreneurship and entreprenuer’s competencies are three key characteristics of Small Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Despite many studies on SMEs, literature review shows that several aspects of the relationship among these concepts have not been thoroughly understood; especially how entrepreneurs use their competencies to develop social capital and corporate entrepreneurship of the firms. Based on deductive approach, this study aims to propose a conceptual model of the relationships among these three concepts.
