- Abstract
The entrepreneur network of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector in Tandil, Argentina, is featured from the perspective of the intersection between the structural (networks) and relational (advisory) dimensions of the social capital, specifically in terms of friendship, information, trust and counsel as transactional contents. Two software packages (Ucinet and Netdraw) were used to map the network, paying special attention to the distribution of mentoring relationships in it. In this way, the supporting role of the system was observed to be based on weak ties, which, in turn, foster technological innovation.
