Wellbeing of women entrepreneurship and relational capital. A case study in Italy
Relational capital is a critical asset in the Knowledge Economy. It refers to the sum of relations an entrepreneur establishes with the external environment and stakeholders aimed to generate business value. Relational capital is particularly relevant for start-ups and for women entrepreneurs. This chapter analyzes the role of relational capital in women in entrepreneurship based on a start-up case associated with a regional Imprendero program to support entrepreneurs during 2011-2012 that coincide with the financial crisis.
