Network exchange theory explains that structure affects ones behavior within a network. In many different scenarios people act differently based on positions they may hold. For example, in the workplace, there are people that are higher above others. There could also be a pyramid type formation where one person reports to one above and so on$.$ In a sport setting, coaches are superior to players, refs are superior to coaches. When it comes to people having to be in charge of others, this will affect their behavior. The same goes for those reporting to them.

In Chapter $7,$ under the header "Power", it says $"$In terms of exchange theory, power is defined as a function of dependence on others in the network. Location in the communication network is associated with greater power to the extent it offers greater access to valued material and informational resources. Specifically, people, groups, and organizations have power to the extent that they have access to alternate sources of a valued resource, and the extent to which they control resources valued by others in the network $($Emerson$,1962).$

My question is$,$ Do you agree with power comes advantage? When is one time you felt that you have been in a position of power and any advantages you may have had?
