Abstract

Although networks have been considered crucial to transnational entrepreneurship (TE), there has been a lack of theoretical and methodological engagement with social network analysis in the existing TE research. We approach TE through a lens of glocalized networks – networks with both local and global connection. We develop a framework that articulates the relation of glocalized networks and TE and discuss how to capture the structure and impacts of glocalized networks in the process of TE.
