Some research work I was conducting on top management teams circa 1996 showed the importance to the company of having executives that were "outward facing" and had many such weak ties, because it enabled better "environmental sensing", i.e. you had an idea of the way things might be going that could not be sensed within the organisation, and its internal tools. In ecology it might also be called "requisite variety" in that that you have the internal differentiation or organicity to deal with a higher degree of environmental uncertainty and ambiguity (the two not being the same: uncertainty being the lack of a known probability against a known outcome alternative, ambiguity being a lack of clarity on what the nature of the problem is in the first place!). Anyway, look forward to part two... Alec, the "weak linkages" point is interesting.
