title = "Brokerage styles and interaction rituals in creative projects: Toward an interactionist perspective on brokerage",
abstract = "Despite the importance of brokers in creative projects, limited attention has been devoted to the micro-interactions by which brokers induce others{\textquoteright} collaboration while simultaneously retaining some control over creative production. Building on an interactionist perspective, we develop the concept of brokerage style – i.e., a recognizable pattern in the ways in which a broker interacts with others. By using different brokerage styles in different phases of a creative project, brokers can orient the social interactions among project participants, “charging” those interactions with different types of emotional energy and mutual attention, eventually inducing collective collaboration and limiting participants{\textquoteright} expectations of control. We illustrate our interactionist model of brokerage styles with examples from the music and TV industries.",
