Enterprise and the state in Korea and Taiwan
While huge family-owned conglomerates, the chaebol, have dominated Korean business, smaller guanxiqiye, interlocking family-based firms, have proved equally formidable in Taiwan.

He offers instead an innovative institutional approach that focuses on the complex linkages between social networks and political power
