| Abstract: | Our paper decodes the link between network closure and structure with the three roles of social capital: efficacy, serendipity and liability. We examine how this mechanism influences the internationalization process of nine Greek and Scottish INVs. Our study concludes that strong and formal ties were linked to the efficacious role, which was the most frequent role identified; weak, informal and intermediary ties were associated with the serendipitous role; and finally weak and formal ties were linked to the liability role, which was the least frequent role. Finally, we found that the change of ties follows the speed of internationalization. |
