Criminal Careers in Organized Crime and Social Opportunity Structure (2008, background): “It is important to note that the successful progression of their criminal career is not due just to their own actions, a point that is stressed in the literature on social networks (for example, Burt 1992, 2005 ).”
The Impact of Context Collapse and Privacy on Social Network Site Disclosures (2012, background): “As has been argued by numerous social capital researchers, weak and bridging ties are important for gaining access to non-redundant information such as job recommendations (Burt, 2005).”
Tie Strength, Embeddedness, and Social Influence: A Large-Scale Networked Experiment (2014, background): “Burt highlights another potential confounding factor: weak ties are more likely to transmit novel information, by virtue of being less socially embedded (Burt 2005).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Resilience Through Multi-scalar Collaboration Surmountable Chasms: Networks and Social Innovation for Resilient Systems (2011, background): “Although this paper focuses specifically on the skill sets, it builds on the ideas of Burt (2005), who examined the role of specific actors within networks.”
With a little help from my colleagues: A social embeddedness approach to perceived organizational support (2012, unknown): “As organizations flatten their hierarchies, knowledge and resources become more dispersed throughout the organization, informal networks replace authority lines, and exchange relationships among increasingly interdependent coworkers assume pivotal importance (Burt, 2005).”
Can genetic factors influence the likelihood of engaging in entrepreneurial activity (2009, background): “For instance, some researchers have shown that social skills are associated with the tendency to engage in entrepreneurial activity (Abell, 1996; Baron and Markman, 2003; Shane and Cable, 2002; Burt, 2005 ), while other researchers have shown evidence of the heritability of social skills.”
Structural and Institutional Determinants of Influence Reputation: A Comparison of Collaborative and Adversarial Policy Networks in Decision Making and Implementation (2014, background): “From this perspective, reputation can be defined as the extent to which a person, group or organization is known to be trustworthy, performing well or important (Burt 2005, 2008; Lamothe and Lamothe 2012; Weigelt and Camerer 1988).”

The elephant in the room of Dynamic Capabilities: Bringing two diverging conversations together (2012, background): “Her high score on betweenness centrality (0.7568 vs. Teece’s 0.5493) indicates that her work plays an important bridging (or brokerage) role, connecting parts of the network that would otherwise remain separated (Burt, 2005; Kilduff and Tsai, 2003).”
