The contrast between perfect competition and monopoly is replaced with a network model of competition. The basic element in this account is the structural hole: a gap between two individuals with complementary resources or information. When the two are connected through a third individual as entrepreneur, the gap is filled, creating important advantages for the entrepreneur. Competitive advantage is a matter of access to structural holes in relation to market transactions. 606 $aCompetition$xSocial aspects 606 $aCompetition, Imperfect$xSocial aspects 606 $aEntrepreneurship$xSocial aspects 606 $aSocial networks 615 0$aCompetition$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCompetition, Imperfect$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSocial networks. 676 $a338.6048 700 $aBurt$b Ronald S$0118943 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807009503321 996 $aStructural holes$9261655 997 $aUNINA
