Abstract
This paper examines how internal network
ties of nascent entrepreneurial teams of
technology-based ventures (TBV) impact
their team performance. We argue that
several dimensions reflecting teamwork
quality within strong and weak network
ties are essential determinants of entrepreneurial
team performance. Hierarchical
regression technique was applied to
the sample of 98 nascent entrepreneurial
teams comprising 230 co-founders of TBV
in India. Results indicate that strong and
weak ties in entrepreneurial teams do not
directly impact team performance. Instead,
the practice of strong and weak ties to
openly communicate within the team, coordinate,
mutually support each other,
willingness to stay in the team and putting
efforts into their respective work
helps in their positive team performance.
