Abstract The majority of social network research in the IS field relies on assumptions that social networks are single-level unified entities, disregarding the potential bimodal network structure with the coexistence of centralized and decentralized networks and overlooking the essential role of adjacent nodes as decision-makers. By challenging these assumptions, we propose that both centralized and
