Why does social capital influence the progress of new venture creation for some entrepreneurs more than others? Our investigation suggests that social capital is not enough; that the type of person involved in network relationships matters to new venture creation. We test the effects of the interplay of social capital and cognition on a sample of 269 entrepreneurs. Our results confirm that social networks and relational capital enhance levels of illusion of control, which is directly related to the progress of new venture creation. We find marginal support for the relationship between social capital and risk propensity.

In Nigeria, most organization managers absolutely ignore scanning the turbulent and complex environments in which they operate. The absolute neglect to constantly scan the environments by organisation management often result in colossal consequences of not developing new ventures, non-identification of threats and weakness, new opportunities and strengths not improved upon, inadequate new job creation, decrease in profit base and dwindling productivity/performance of the organisation. Based on these problems, this paper examined the extent to which environmental scanning as a strategic management tool could address the problems of new venture creation and product innovation within Nigerian corporate organisations in order to sustain competitive advantage. Two firms in the South East, Nigeria plastic manufacturing industry were selected for investigation. Questionnaire was designed using five point Likert scales. Data collected were summarized in tables, percentages and, analyzed with Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient at 5% level of significance using n-2 degrees of freedom. The result was subjected to t-statistic test. It was discovered that environmental scanning has significance positive relationship with new venture creation and that product innovation is as a result of environmental scanning by the firms. Based on the findings, the study recommended that plastic firms in the South East, and Nigeria should constantly scan the environments in which they operate so as to continually innovate their products and create more ventures that will firm’s sustain competitive advantage.

There is a growing debate over the means by which regions can foster the growth of entrepreneurial activity in order to stimulate recovery and growth of their economies. On one side, agglomeration theory suggests the regions grow because of strong clusters that foster knowledge spillover locally; on the other side, the entrepreneurial action camp argues that innovative business models are generated by entrepreneurs with unique market perspectives who draw on knowledge from more distant domains. We will show you the design for a novel agent-based model of new venture creation that will demonstrate the relationship between agglomeration and action. The primary focus of this model is information exchange as the medium for these agent interactions. Our modeling and simulation study proposes to reveal interesting relationships in these perspectives, offer a foundation on which these disparate theories from economics and sociology can find common ground, and expand the use of agent-based modeling into entrepreneurship research.

"Graduates employment" is always the focus of society in China. At present, the hardness of graduates employment is an important issue for the development of China's higher education, which has already aroused more attentions from the Communist Party of China and the government. Graduates' views on career-choosing, family backgrounds, specialties, curriculum, recognitions to new venture creation, and many other factors impact their employment and new venture creation. Therefore, in order to solve the graduates employment issue, colleges and universities should build up innovative education ideas, offer courses of employment, especially courses of career planning and new venture creation, help college students form complete employment and new venture creation knowledge structures, expand their thoughts on employment, cultivate their consciousness of independent new venture creation and self-care ability, contributing to the social harmony and development.
