This book laborates upon a topic of paramount importance to both academic scholars and managers doing business with China: the impact of personal relationships (guanxi) on business affairs. Rather than explaining the emergence of guanxi and its persistence in spite of the existence of a market economy with Confucianism, the author applies the phenomenon to the methodology of New Economic Sociology.
