摘要

本研究以社會資本的觀點探討技術型創業團隊的網絡關係。透過進駐在台灣的65家學術性機構的新創事業的問卷調查，我們從回答者的資料庫中，針對121家技術型創業團隊進行研究分析。我們歸納出衡量技術型創業團隊的社會資本可分為互動連結、夥伴關係、互信和共同目標四項構面。研究發現創新程度較高的技術型創業團隊在互動連結和互信的表現上較創新程度較低的創業團隊為佳。此外，本研究也發現創業成員之間的互信程度愈高，愈會增強成員間的互動連結、夥伴關係以及凝結共同的目標。研究發現意味著技術型創業團隊在創業初期應該特別重視成員間的互信關係。

This paper explores entrepreneurial networks in technology-based entrepreneurial teams from a social capital perspective. Through a large scale survey to all new ventures established in 65 research-based incubators in Taiwan, we have drawn 121 technology-based entrepreneurial teams from a database for this paper. Four factors were extracted from the social capital concept, including social interaction ties, partnership, mutual trust, and shared goals. Findings suggest that more innovative entrepreneurial teams perform better in social interaction ties and mutual trust than do less innovative teams. Moreover, more mutual trust within entrepreneurial teams indicates that they will have higher social interaction, partnership, and shared goals. The findings imply that building trust relationship between entrepreneurial team members is particularly important at the start-up stage.
