This dissertation investigates how immigrant Chinese and Indian entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley use social networks to develop their enterprises. The dissertation hypothesizes that the strong social ties typical of co-ethnic networks are especially important for success in startup phases but that the weak ties found in broader networks beyond the ethnic community become more important during the expansion phase. Data will be collected in a survey followed up by more intensive interviews.

本文研究了中国和印度移民企业家在硅谷如何利用社交网络发展他们的企业。本文假设，在创业阶段，共同种族网络中典型的强社会联系对成功尤为重要，但在扩展阶段，在种族社区之外的更广泛的网络中发现的弱联系变得更加重要。数据将在调查中收集，随后进行更密集的访谈。
