Small scale entrepreneurship – understanding behaviors of aspiring entrepreneurs in a rural area
Summary. Aspiring entrepreneurs in rural Denmark benefit from business networks in different ways depending on their innovation type. Those developing new products need strong ties with consultants and network-building experts, while service innovators rely on university connections. Rural entrepreneurs connected to a regional entrepreneurship center can build strong relationships and leverage weak ties effectively. Professional support organizations help less-privileged startups compensate for lacking strong ties.
