Abstract
In a sample of Canadian investment bank cliques from 1952 to 1990, we examined whether social similarity and cohesion reduced exits of members from these cliques; whether complementarity through differentiated roles reduced such exits; and whether inequality in structural holes increased exits. We found that complementarity and inequality were more powerful antecedents of clique exits than similarity and cohesion. Our results suggest that clique stability is a function of three social and instrumental processes: building social attraction to govern exchanges, developing complementarity to accomplish collaborative tasks, and distributing the value created by a clique among its members.

A distinction between two different principles of "connection" in social networks suggests that current measures of centrality might predict power in one type of network but not in the other, and a first step toward a fusion of power-dependence theory and structural centrality in a way which might be general across networks of both types is offered.
