Team and Project Introduction - Young Entrepreneurship


The Role of Social Capital among Young Entrepreneurs

Our team consists of Ameria and Esau from Makere University Business School and Pia and Lea from Copenhagen Business School.
We are doing field work related to the theory of social capital among young entrepreneurs in the Nakawa market in Kampala. Thereby we are analyzing the influence social networks can have on different resources, such as capital/financing, contacts to customers and suppliers and business related skills and knowledge by using qualitative (focus group discussion and in-depth interviews) and quantitative research methods. Due to the lack of formal institutions, which help young entrepreneurs to attain access to these resources, the social networks are of major importance for the business success of young entrepreneurs.
