Article Abstract:
The efficacy of two alternative network structures, closure and structural holes, from the contingent perspective of time are investigated in order to connect past and current social structures to outcomes. It is observed that, in the Italian television production industry, current structural holes rather than past ones, but past closure rather than current closure, help network performance.
