L’ingéniosité de sa théorie a été de mettre en avant la force des liens faibles. Il considère ces derniers comme plus importants dans l’univers social. En 1973, Mark Granovetter publie un article dans l’American Journal of Sociology intitulé The Strength of Weak Ties. Cet article réapparaitra un an plus tard dans l’ouvrage du même auteur Getting a Job (1974). Granovetter y distingue deux principaux types de liens dans un réseau, les liens forts (strong ties) d’une part et les liens faibles (weak ties) de l’autre.
