| description | This article is premised on the idea that social networks represent an important, but often overlooked, unit of analysis in management and entrepreneurship studies.

This article borrows from the ethnicity and social network traditions, and offers that an analysis of the ethnic homogeneity of an entrepreneur's strong and weak social ties would be fruitful in gauging entrepreneurial success. |
