Thank you everyone for your detailed responses and suggestions. Many of you contacted me off list, and some asked for a reference list once I have heard from everyone (it seems this is a topic of interest for many!). I am pulling all of these references together now and will post it within the week, in case more of you are interested.

Thanks again - this was my first time posting a query to the list and I am thoroughly impressed and very grateful for the collective insight.

Aloha,
Michele

To add to the citations that link the value of brokerage to the cultural biases of network actors, you may also want to look into this piece:

 

Xiao, Z. and A. S. Tsui (2007). “When Brokers May Not Work: The Cultural Contingency of Social Capital in Chinese High-tech Firms.” Administrative Science Quarterly 52(1): 1-31.
