There are many papers on Guanxi, a concept embedded in Chinese cultures. Is there any study exploring the similarities and differences between social networks and Guanxi?
Thanks! I am reading the papers you recommended. I found that Kevin D, Lo's paper contains many insightful points. http://www.jimsjournal.org/25%20Kevin%20D.pdf. I also found that Yang's (2002) paper on resilience of Guanxi inspires my ideas.
Wellman et al's paper on using SN to study Guanxi helps me understand how SN scholars view Guanxi.
