摘要:The paper considers the case of the practice firm (PF), Perting Ltd., and analyses the entrepreneurial networks and internal and external ties that develop between participants and other firms. Perting Ltd. is a practice firm that operates in the Simulimpresa laboratory of Bologna University. The results show the internal networking connections fit with the “classical” approach where the critical mass of ties are set for the long term while the external networks adhere to the “innovative” approach, characterised by initial exploration that determines further development.
