Definition(s)

  • Mark Granovetter's seminal study “The Strength of Weak Ties” shows that people are more likely to hear about a job opening from acquaintances than from friends, even though ties to friends are likely to be stronger. “Strong” and “weak” have a double meaning in Granovetter's usage.
