able tiers (managing up and out ),flexible membership, and coordination among ties.
Hargadon (2006) argues that creativity involves two complementary but seemingly opposing processes:bridging and building.
Bridging, according to Hargadon, requires that two previously distinct worlds or domains be brought together via pattern recognition or making a new connection. To this end, Hargadon provides compelling case examples form physics to rock and roll. The building process, according to Hargadon, requires that new patterns be built involving both understanding and action within those social groups that serve as the arbiters of the creative output. Hargadon bases his theory in the microsociology of creativity.
