Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Granovetter's research found that weak ties, such as those maintained sporadically with acquaintances like former classmates, were more likely to provide new job opportunities than strong ties like daily contacts or family members. This is because weak ties connect us to different social networks, offering access to information and opportunities not available within our immediate circle.
