Structural holes refer to gaps in a social network where there are few or no connections between different groups or individuals. The concept was popularized by sociologist Ronald S. Burt, who argued that these gaps can serve as opportunities for individuals or organizations to act as bridges between otherwise disconnected groups. In essence, a structural hole exists when a person is situated between clusters of actors that do not have ties with each other.
