近几十年来，网络经纪研究发展迅速，跨越了多个社会科学学科的界限，以及管理学中的不同研究领域。因此，我们对网络经纪的文献进行了盘点，并就如何推动这一新兴的研究领域向前发展提供了指导。我们提供了一个全面的审查，这方面的文献，包括关键尺寸的概念本身的经纪结构和行为，一组关键类别的因素，周围的经纪概念（前因，结果和主持人），并概述了经纪动态随着时间的推移。我们使用这些维度和类别来描述网络经纪的理论和实证基础，以及评估以前的研究工作。在这样做的过程中，我们提供了一种方法来总结和综合这一大型的跨学科文献，确定重要的研究差距，并为未来的研究提供有前途的方向。
Network brokerage research has grown rapidly in recent decades, spanning the boundaries of multiple social science disciplines as well as diverse research areas within management. Accordingly, we take stock of the literature on network brokerage and provide guidance on ways to move this burgeoning research area forward. We provide a comprehensive review of this literature, including crucial dimensions of the concept itself in terms of brokerage structure and behavior, a set of key categories of factors surrounding the brokerage concept (antecedents, outcomes, and moderators), and an overview of brokerage dynamics over time. We use these dimensions and categories to depict network brokerage’s theoretical and empirical underpinnings as well as evaluate prior research efforts. In so doing, we offer a means to summarize and synthesize this large, interdisciplinary literature, identify important research gaps, and offer promising directions for future research.
