Chinese Entrepreneurs, Social Networks, andGuanxi
基于中国企业家网络数据，研究发现西方商业成功中的经纪人网络在中国同样有效，封闭网络的信任相关性也类似，但历史与事件验证的信任对中国企业家尤为重要，为东西方研究整合提供了网络视角。
ABSTRACT Intending to clear space for rigorous integrative research bridging theory and research across East and West, we highlight four conclusions from exceptional data on the networks around Chinese entrepreneurs: (1) The broker networks associated with business success in the West are also associated with success in China; (2) The trust correlates of closed networks in the West are similarly correlated in China; (3) History and trust proven in events emerge as especially important to the Chinese entrepreneurs; (4) High-quality network data on Chinese business leaders are a practical reality. We use the results to define a network perspective on guanxi ties that can be common ground for integrating results across East and West, and guide future research on the role networks play in Chinese business.
