| Abstract: | This paper explores the tension between two opposite views on how networks create social capital. Network closure stresses the role of cohesive ties in fostering a normative environment that facilitates cooperation. Structural hole theory sees cohesive ties as a source of rigidity that hinders the coordination of complex organizational tasks. The two theories lead to opposite predictions on how the structure of an actor's network may affect his ability to adapt that network to a significant change in task environment. |
