Abstract:
This NCOE report, Building Entrepreneurial Networks, provides a "how-to guide" on building entrepreneurial networks for entrepreneurs, community leaders, policy makers, and others. The report is based in part on case studies of five organizations - in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Oklahoma, and Texas - which have succeeded in seeding or supporting such networks. Using these case studies and additional research, the report details how and why local business networks help nurture entrepreneurship. Next, it offers practical tips on how to start and grow such networks. It concludes with a review of best practices linked to general experience with entrepreneurial networks and is highlighted by five detailed case study examinations.
