N.A. The Role of Social Capital in
Successful Opening of the Small Business Enterprise (Economic Aspect). // Economics of contemporary Russia 2015. ¹2 (69) Ñ.73-85.
The
paper investigates the influence of individual social capital on successful
opening of a small business. The notion of individual social capital is
composed of a number of factors.
Appropriate hypotheses were formulated to determine the influence of
each factor on the entrepreneurs’ chances of successful opening of their own
business. The study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, based on
logit-models, we stated the factors that affect significantly the successful
opening of the individual business. In the second phase we tested the
hypotheses formulated, using logit-models with regard to gender. The resulting
models can be used to estimate the probability of successful opening of
start-up businesses.
Keywords: social
capital, small business, logit-models.
