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.
