Guanxi is a term used in Chinese culture to describe an individual's social network of mutually beneficial personal and business relationships. The character guan,关,means “closed”and "caring" while the character xi 系means “system”and together the term refers to a closed caring system of relationships that is somewhat analogous to the term old boy's network in the West. In Western media,the pinyin romanization guanxi is more widely used than common translations such as "connections" or "relationships" because those terms do not capture the significance of a person's guanxi to most personal and business dealings in China. Unlike in the West,guanxi relationships are almost never established purely through formal meetings but must also include spending time to get to know each other during tea sessions,dinner banquets,or other personal meetings. Essentially,guanxi requires a personal bond before any business relationship can develop. As a result,guanxi relationships are often more tightly bound than relationships in Western personal social networks. Guanxi has a major influence on the management of businesses based in mainland China,Hong Kong,and those owned by Overseas Chinese people in Southeast Asia.
