Sumari:In recent years, research has attempted to go beyond the debate between traditional approaches to entrepreneurship (economic, psychological, etc.) and to show that social capital is a provider of useful resources for the entrepreneur and a performance lever for their business (Burt 1992; Granovetter 1995; Swedberg 2000; Julien et al. 2003). This article presents the results of an exploratory study conducted with ten Moroccan entrepreneurs. The objective of this study is to shed light, using the semi-structured interviews carried out, on the processes by which entrepreneurs build and mobilize their relational networks in order to acquire the resources required for their businesses to perform well. The results reveal the very significant contribution of social capital drawn from the relational network. It seems that entrepreneurs sufficiently embedded in relational networks that generate resources will have better chances of developing their entrepreneurial activity.
