Abstract

Granovetter's theory of the "strength of weak ties" (SWT) posits that an individual's social network is comprised of weak and strong ties, but that it is through weak ties that new information and resources are received since strong ties usually possess the same information as the individual. This paper explains how SWT can be specified as a unit theory from its metatheoretical form. . .
