Abstract

Feldman M. and Zoller T. D. Dealmakers in place: social capital connections in regional entrepreneurial economies, Regional Studies . This paper examines the internal anatomy of regional social capital and develops a role for dealmakers -- individuals who provide active regional stewardship. An empirical analysis of twelve US regions finds great variation in the presence of dealmakers. The strong local presence of dealmakers is correlated with high start-up rates. The empirical results suggest that the local presence of dealmakers is more important for successful entrepreneurship than aggregate measures of regional entrepreneurial and investors network. Moreover, it is found that the presence of dealmakers is a better predictor of the status of the regional entrepreneurial economy. Feldman M. and Zoller T.

D. Des op�rateurs sur place: les liens de capital social dans les �conomies d'entreprise r�gionales, Regional Studies . Cet article cherche à examiner l'anatomie interne du capital social r�gional et à d�velopper un rôle à jouer pour les op�rateurs -- des individus qui fournissent une gestion r�gionale active. Une analyse empirique de douze r�gions situ�es aux E-U laisse voir une variation importante de la pr�sence des op�rateurs. La forte pr�sence locale des op�rateurs est en corr�lation �troite avec les taux de cr�ation. Les r�sultats empiriques laissent supposer que la pr�sence locale des op�rateurs est plus importante pour r�ussir l'esprit d'entreprise que ne le sont des mesures globales de l'�tablissement de r�seaux r�gionaux d'entrepreneurs et d'investisseurs. Qui plus est, il s'avère que la pr�sence des op�rateurs est un meilleur indicateur du statut de l'�conomie d'entreprise r�gionale. Am�nagement du territoire Esprit d'entreprise Capital social Feldman M. und Zoller T. D. Dealmaker vor Ort: Verbindungen des Sozialkapitals in regionalen Unternehmerwirtschaften, Regional Studies . In diesem Beitrag wird die interne Anatomie des regionalen Sozialkapitals untersucht und eine Rolle für Dealmaker entwickelt -- also für Personen, die für eine aktive regionale Steuerung sorgen. Bei einer empirischen Analyse von zwölf Regionen der USA stellen sich starke Schwankungen hinsichtlich der Präsenz von Dealmakern heraus. Eine hohe lokale Präsenz von Dealmakern geht mit einer hohen Anzahl von Firmengründungen einher. Aus den empirischen Ergebnissen geht hervor, dass die lokale Präsenz von Dealmakern für erfolgreiches Unternehmertum wichtiger ist als die gemeinsamen Faktoren des regionalen Unternehmertums und des Investorennetzwerks. Darüber hinaus stellt sich heraus, dass sich die Präsenz von Dealmakern besser zur Prognose der regionalen Unternehmerwirtschaft eignet. Regionale Wirtschaftsentwicklung Unternehmertum Sozialkapital Feldman M. y Zoller T. D. Negociadores disponibles: conexiones de capital social en las econom�as empresariales regionales, Regional Studies . En este art�culo analizamos la anatom�a interna del capital social regional y desarrollamos un papel para los negociadores -- personas que ofrecen una administración regional activa. En un análisis emp�rico de doce regiones de los Estados Unidos observamos una gran variación en la presencia de negociadores. La fuerte presencia local de negociadores está relacionada con altos �ndices de creación de nuevas empresas. Los resultados emp�ricos indican que la presencia local de negociadores es más importante para el �xito empresarial que las medidas combinadas del empresariado regional y la red de inversores. Además, observamos que la presencia de negociadores es una mejor medida para predecir el estado de la econom�a regional empresarial. Desarrollo económico regional Empresariado Capital social
