Abstract

This study proposes an empirical framework to investigate the impact of social capital on an entrepreneurial opportunity and organisational knowledge. The results indicate that (1) entrepreneurial opportunity is positively affected by structural and relational dimensions of social capital and absorptive capacity (2) accumulative knowledge is positively affected by structural and cognitive dimensions of social capital (3) absorptive capacity is positively affected by accumulative knowledge. This study presents an efficient mechanism for managers to promote entrepreneurial opportunity and offers comprehensive perspectives for researchers to achieve a better insight in the fields of knowledge management, social capital and enterprise development.
