Abstract

This paper analyses the effects of social networks on international new ventures’ choice of non-equity entry modes. Networks’ social capital provides international new ventures with informational benefits and experiential learning, which are relevant to lessen the issues associated with the choice of non-equity entry mode even when partners do not belong to their networks. Since the benefits from social networks are conditioned by what activities are taken to construct and continue them, INVs’ entrepreneurs need to create procedures that allow them to develop relational norms with their network partners in a coordinated way.
