Network Insight and Entrepreneurial Performance of New Ventures: Understanding the Roles of Resource Integration and Dynamic Management Capability

Abstract This study integrates social network theory and dynamic capability theory to explore the influence of network insight on entrepreneurial performance under the mediating role of resource integration, and the influence path of dynamic management capability. We test a series of hypotheses using survey data from 228 Chinese enterprises and applying partial least squares based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Our study provides knowledge to understand new ventures’ performance promotion from a new perspective of network insight. We empirically found a mechanism between structural insight, relational insight, and environmental insight on entrepreneurial performance. Besides, this study also revealed a boundary condition of dynamic management capability to understand how organizational resource integration motivates entrepreneurial performance.
