Figure 1.
The image depicts a conceptual diagram that highlights the role of the entrepreneur in relation to two types of networks: the network of committed actors and the network of peripheral actors. The entrepreneur's characteristics include proactiveness, which is shown positioned at the left. The network of committed actors includes elements like network attention and resource leveraging. Below this, there are components for the network of peripheral actors, specifically risk management and customer intensity. Arrows connect these elements to three outcomes on the right: opportunity exploitation, innovation, and value creation, illustrating the flow of influence from the entrepreneur's attributes through network dynamics to these outcomes.Entrepreneurs proactively direct their network attention to the network of committed actors to leverage resources, the network of peripheral actors to manage risks and engage in customer intensity, and both to exploit opportunities, innovation and value creation
