Notes de l'éditeur
- A quote directly take from Dawson et al. (2011): This study demonstrates that a positive correlation exists between student social network position and the centrality measures of betweenness and degrees. These findings mirror the earlier work of sociologist Ronald Burt (2004) who noted that managers with a high betweenness value were perceived as the more creative individuals within an organisation. In short, Burt's work emphasises the notion that small, tightly formed groups evolve towards a homophilic culture. Individuals who transcend these groups have access to a greater diversity of information, knowledge, and ideas. It is in this context that individuals enact brokering roles and thus build skills that become valuable as creative capital. For instance individuals with high brokerage positions are located in ways that enable networking agility, communication, and the translation of information across network clusters. Importantly these individuals have opportunities to market new ideas or solutions to problems for future uptake or access by the broader social system. Hence, these individuals are more exposed to a diversity of 'good ideas' and information that can be translated and transformed to fulfil the requirements of alternate small world network clusters (Uzzi & Spiro, 2005).

- Connecting with the studies that showed the positive effects on teaching how to recognize structural holes in the workplace setting – and thus, recognize opportunities to broker information flows – this could also be a way to help students developed their creative potential in educational settings.
