本研究之目的在於探討國內以技術創業為起始之企業，如何運用本身的知識在環境中發掘機會，確認在市場上的定位，並運用複雜的社會網路關係取得必要之資源，此過程中蘊含了知識的創造及累積，因而得以形成以智慧資本為基礎之競爭優勢，而此即為本研究探討之主軸。
然而，技術創業和智慧資本相關的議題相當廣泛，因此，本研究限定研究範疇於探討技術創業之新事業在創業過程中如何運用既有之知識或技術能力來發掘創業機會，亦即創業機會的認知、確認及運用等過程，並藉由網路關係開發知識交換和連結。
本研究乃透過個案分析法來進行探索性研究，經由研究架構之設計和電子資訊產業個案之蒐集、訪談、分析、歸納及比較，建立一發展技術創業公司以社會網路進行知識連結、機會確認之模式，推演新創事業須存在知識的組合能力和機會的辨識能力，新知識資本和創新機會才得以循環創造的結果。
