Network Churn: The Effects of Self-Monitoring Personality on Brokerage Dynamics (2010, background): “…individual differences in self-monitoring into templates for agent-based models (and network theorizing more generally) to provide richer, more realistic explanations of how and why network structures emerge and change over time (cf. Buskens and van de Rijt, 2008; Reagans and Zuckerman, 2008).”
The Diversity-Bandwidth Trade-off1 (2011, unknown): “…different types of information are likely to accrue to individuals in different structural positions (Simmel [1922] 1955; Moreno 1940; Granovetter 1973; Baker 1990; Burt 1992, 2008; Padgett and Ansell 1993; Uzzi 1996, 1997; Hansen 1999, 2002; Podolny 2001; Reagans and Zuckerman 2001, 2008a, 2008b).”
The Two Faces of Control: Network Closure and Individual Performance among Knowledge Workers (2009, methodology): “To compute the level of non-redundancy in a banker’s network, we averaged the Euclidean distances between all pairs of colleagues in that banker’s ego network (see Reagans and Zuckerman, 2008, for a similar measure).”
Director Human Capital, Information Processing Demands, and Board Effectiveness (2014, background): “Network theorists indicate that although diverse network structures may be valuable, they are also costly because maintaining the network ties and the overall network structure requires ongoing expenditures of time and effort (Reagans & Zuckerman, 2001, 2008).”
Social network analysis: foundations and frontiers on advantage. (2013, unknown): “Theoretical in stable “equilibrium” networks (Buskens & van de Rijt 2008, Dogan et al. 2009, Goyal & Vega-Redondo 2007, Kleinberg et al. 2008, Reagans & Zuckerman 2008, Ryall & Sorenson 2007).”
