Weaving Social Networks
While entrepreneurship exists all over the world, most of the academic 
insights have come primarily from developed economies. The focus 
of such studies has typically been the industrial and high technology 
domains. Relatively little research has gone into how individuals set up 
and manage their firms in low technological domains.  
This research examines firms in one such domain and applies to them 
certain theories, like the structural hole theory, that have been predomi-
nantly developed in the western economies.  The context for this study 
is the handloom sector. It is a pre-market, pre-capitalist industry that 
makes fabric using hand-operated looms and provides employment to 
over 10 million people in India.
