Abstract

This study addresses the networking and global awareness of young technology-based entrepreneurs (YTBE). It is based on six technical entrepreneurs who graduated from the Master of Enterprise (MEnt) programme at Manchester Science Enterprise Centre. The main purpose of this research was to determine if YTBEs realise the importance of networks to business success and whether they act positively to build them. The second purpose was to see if they consider international opportunities and whether they build skills to sense and act upon them. The results have policy implications for supporting the development of the high-technology SME sector and providing insights into the internationalisation of high-technology SMEs.The research found that the YTBE from this course, show highly positive perception towards networks. Policy-makers are encouraged to nurture and further develop this type of humanbased incubator. The investigation of global awareness of the young entrepreneurs shows less optimistic results. This situation should give cause for concern to both educators and policy makers.

年轻科技企业家的网络和全球意识:曼彻斯特科学企业中心企业硕士项目的案例研究

本研究探讨了年轻科技企业家(YTBE)的网络和全球意识。它是基于6名技术企业家，他们毕业于曼彻斯特科学企业中心(Manchester Science Enterprise Centre)的企业硕士课程。这项研究的主要目的是确定ytbe是否意识到网络对商业成功的重要性，以及他们是否积极地建立网络。第二个目的是看他们是否考虑到国际机遇，以及他们是否具备感知机遇并采取行动的技能。研究结果对支持高科技中小企业部门的发展具有政策意义，并为高科技中小企业的国际化提供了见解。研究发现，该课程的YTBE对网络表现出高度积极的认知。鼓励政策制定者培育和进一步发展这种以人为本的孵化器。对青年企业家全球意识的调查显示出不太乐观的结果。这种情况应该引起教育工作者和决策者的关注。
