Chinese Business Networks
State, Economy and Culture
The book argues that explanations of Chinese business conduct in terms of culture are too convenient and simplistic; that not all Chinese everywhere are the same, and do business only among themselves - in a so-called "Chinese diaspora", a "Greater China" or a "bamboo network"; and that many ethnic Chinese of Southeast Asia may well be "reluctant merchants"as they face many institutional obstructions in upward mobility.
