Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the benefits of relational and personal network of a contractor on his access to external resources. Moreover, we tried to test whether this relationship is skewed by the contractor's age. The originality of our approach lies in the choice of the context which our empirical analysis is applied and related to the Tunisian context. In addition, we have integrated a range of theoretical approaches that have examined the concept of relational and personal network particularly, the strength of ties of Granovetter, the theory of structural holes of Burt and the theory of social resource.
