Abstract
Little research in entrepreneurship has sought to
determine what factors can lead to entrepreneurial
team venture success. The present study examined
the role of resources such as human capital, social
capital, and financial capital and how team processes
influenced entrepreneurial team success. Findings
from survey data of 80 entrepreneurial teams show
that these resources and team dynamics were key
factors of entrepreneurial team success. We enrich
the entrepreneurial literature by introducing cognitive
map as a new technique to measure entrepreneurial
team success. Using this technique, we provide a
methodological contribution to develop and analyse
the cognitive map which reflects collective thinking of
entrepreneurs about the factors of their success.
