Abstract: The aim of this chapter is to explore the influence of entrepreneurs’ social networks on the entrepreneurial perception and intention of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). To this end, a conceptual model is proposed and contrasted from the network approach for the case of the internationalization of Spanish SMEs towards an emerging market such as China. In addition, the personal characteristics of the entrepreneur are analyzed as a possible moderating variable in the model. The results of our research can help entrepreneurs and governments to establish and adjust their strategies and relationships within these networks to promote the entrepreneurial internationalization of SMEs.
