My field observations suggest more concretely how tertius
/ungens activity and social knowledge interweave in
dense networks as innovation efforts unfold.
In his work on the triad, Simmel (1950: 154) pointed out two
roles for the tertius: serving "as a means to the ends of the
group" {tertius iungens) or using the interaction "for his own
purposes" {tertius gaudens). Structural holes theory develops
the particulars of tertius gaudens dynamics in a conception of
social organization built around competition and stressing a
set of dependent variables that are outcomes of those competitions
(e.g,, promotions and profit). The language of structural
holes theory is often a language of competition, control,
relative advantage, and manipulation, Burt (1992: 33) indicated,
for example, that the tertius may choose to move "accurate,
ambiguous, or distorted information" between contacts
