Enthoven}, title = {Sustainable entrepreneurship: Values, social networks and spatial concentration}, year = {2016}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/1192/}, abstract = {Sustainable entrepreneurship is influenced by personal altruistic and egoistic values, while social networks influence the adoption of these values, especially in the restaurant sector. Due to social convergence, actors in the same social network adopt similar values, which creates a higher likelihood of sustainable entrepreneurship in some networks. It is argued that physical proximity of actors in social networks facilitates spatial concentration. A survey analysis shows that altruistic values differentiate sustainable entrepreneurs from conventional entrepreneurs. Consequently, spatial concentration was indicated using multiple spatial statistics, concluding that spatial concentration of sustainable entrepreneurship is different from spatial concentration of conventional entrepreneurship.} }
