Journal of Management 36 (2) : 511-536.

The authors argue that when either resource owners or referrers possess a greater level of prior knowledge about a venture's technology or product, information asymmetry problems arising from weak component ties decline, enabling resource owners to evaluate the venture better. On the basis of survey data from 378 high-tech entrepreneurs, the analysis shows that resource owners' prior knowledge, but not referrers', compensates for limited information in weak component ties better than in strong component ties. © 2010 Southern Management Association. | Source Title: | Journal of Management | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/44737 | ISSN: | 01492063 | DOI: | 10.1177/0149206308329963 |
