Schumpeter (1934) described the role of the entrepreneur as a radical market innovator who brings about creative destruction through innovation.
He argued that industries within societies are replaced by other industries over time. The process of replacement of one industry (destruction) by another more modern industry (creation) is creative destruction. (e.g., typewriters/computers, horse & buggy/cars)
Creative destruction is taking place constantly and moves society forward – entrepreneurship moves society.

Social networks are the most important resource of the firm - they provide access to information and resources
Social networks subsume both individual and environmental factors - the people one associates with tell us about the individual
Support for the “Strength of Weak Ties” (Granovetter, 1973) - People you do not know well are more important to entrepreneurs than people you know well.
An associated concept is the importance of Structural Holes(Burt, 1992) – if your immediate contacts do not know each other there are “holes” in the network. This is advantageous (see example).
