What is the contribution of actor-network theory to understanding the dynamics of entrepreneurial network construction?

Summary Research on the entrepreneurial network continues to grow. However, the knowledge produced on the dynamics of the construction of this network over time remains limited. This observation is even more pronounced for those interested in the study of the antecedent phase of the entrepreneurial process. Taking Bruyat's (1993) conception of entrepreneurship as the theoretical foundation, the authors followed the progressive formation of the entrepreneurial network over a period of two years. They mobilized the actor-network theory to study this dynamic in a situation of innovative business creation.
