Question

Emma is hoping to secure an internship with an engineering firm this summer. She’s talked with friends and family, but they have not been able to provide her with any helpful contacts. Emma runs into her former aerobics instructor, whom she hasn’t seen in several years, and her instructor offers to put her in contact with an engineering friend of hers. This is an example of what concept?

Answer 1

Answer:

Strength in Weak Ties

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by Mark Granovetter, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this is an example of the concept known as Strength in Weak Ties. Weak Ties refers to a basic relationship that an individual may have with acquaintances, or a stranger with a common cultural background. The strengths in these ties can vastly affect interactions and outcomes with these individuals. In this situation Emma's strength in her weak ties relationship with her aerobics instructor is helping her secure an internship.
