DESCRIPTION:Yonghoon Lee\n\nTexas A&M University\n\nSpecialization\, Networ
 k Closure\, and Success in Creative Careers\n\nDate: Friday\, March 27\, 2
 026\n	Time:10:30 AM -12:00 PM\n	Location: Bronfman 245\n\nAll are cordially 
 invited to attend.\n\n\nAbstract:\n\nDrawing on the project-based careers 
 of creatives\, I explore the tradeoff in building a specialized or general
 ized work portfolio and theorize network brokerage as an important conting
 ency for creatives’ career success. Specifically\, I argue that specialize
 d portfolio built with network closure is helpful for creatives’ success i
 n the ever-changing creative markets through resilient survival. I also th
 eorize that generalized expertise developed through network brokerage is h
 elpful for creatives’ market success but through a different mechanism\, w
 hereby those creatives are enabled with enhanced creativity. Supporting ev
 idence comes from examining the careers of Korean popular music songwriter
 s\, freelancers who need to find and select projects and collaborators\, w
 hile seeking survival and success in the career. I find that the likelihoo
 d of a hit release increases with specialization in their work portfolio w
 hen their network closure is high but decreases when it is low\, indicatin
 g that both specialization in network closure and generalization in networ
 k brokerage are associated with higher chances of success in the market. T
 his evidence is supplemented with additional findings: songwriters with gr
 eater specialization are more likely to produce new releases and “survive”
  in the career especially when network closure is high\, while their highe
 r chance of success comes later in the career. Conversely\, songwriters wi
 th a more generalized portfolio and lower network closure tend to write so
 ngs that differ from current hits\, although writing similar songs to curr
 ent hits tend to higher chance of success\, in general. These show differe
 nt paths in which creatives succeed in their careers.\n	 \n
