Abstract

■ This paper employs multiple theoretical perspectives - resource- and knowledge-based views as well as social network theory - to explore the dynamics of guanxi in the context of Chinese entrepreneurial firms. ■ We propose a dynamic model and offer multiple propositions for researchers to examine the role of guanxi for knowledge management and decision-making at various developmental stages of such firms.
