Research Note: Personalism and Corporate Networks in Singapore
基于107家大型华人企业的数据，研究新加坡企业间的网络连接，发现家族所有的华人企业资产雄厚、财务良好，处于商业网络中心，且个人主义框架有助于理解东亚和东南亚的企业间关系。
Using a data set on 107 large Chinese firms, I examine inter-firm connectedness in Singapore. The analysis shows that firms in Singapore exhibit different levels of networking activities. Chinese firms that are owned by family have huge assets, good financial standing and are at the centre of business networks in Singapore. Big Chinese firms interlock with one another under the influence of Chinese business culture that stresses the importance of reputation and family ownership in networking activities. Personalism is a useful framework for gaining a good understanding of inter-firm relations in East and Southeast Asia.
