Abstract:
<p>Introduction: Each year thousands of micro firms are established in Sweden, not all firms will survive and grow; instead many will be forced out of business. Possible explanations of this phenomena could lie in the personality of the entrepreneur, the network of the micro firm as well as support from society and so on.</p><p>Problem: Prior research has showed that networks and networking are important for the establishment, development and growth of micro firms.

<p><strong>Bakgrund:</strong> Vi fick under hösten i uppdrag att hjälpa till med en marknadsföringsplan till mikroföretaget Thermo Steel. När vi gick igenom den teori som fanns på området marknadsföring märktes ett stort gap när det gällde marknadsföring för mikroföretag. Det finns ett flertal rapporter som ifrågasät­ter den traditionella marknadsföringens relevans för mikroföretag. Det motiverade oss att först undersöka hur mikroföretag marknadsför sig och om det finns några generella riktlinjer att följa när det gäller mikroföretags arbete med marknadsföring.</p><p><strong>Syfte:</strong> Me

Abstract:
Most small new firms face problems in surviving the gestation process and achieving a viable performance thereafter because of the very fact of their smallness and newness. Due to a lack of internal resources, entrepreneurs of small new firms find it necessary to seek resources from outside the firm through their external social network. The theory of social capital that prescribes valuable resources are embedded in social relations is, thus, particularly relevant to the small business start-up situation. The embedded resources within an external network are hypothesized to have a positive imp
