This study examined how the network based on the Chinese Guanxi relationship affects information sharing among companies and the performance of firms with the supply chain. We formulated research hypotheses and models, which were then tested using survey data collected from the employees involved in procurement and supply chain functions at Chinese companies. This data collection process involved a 4weeks survey of employees responsible for procurement and supply chain operations, or those processing relevant work experience. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 21.0. We tested the validity of the conceptual constructs in this study, which include the network based on Guanxi, information sharing, and the firm’s performance. The analysis showed that the network based on the Guanxi relationship had a positive effect on the information sharing of inventory, orders, production planning, and shipping among companies in China. Furthermore, the study revealed that information sharing regarding inventory, production planning, and shipping exhibited positive (+) effects on the firm’s performance. However, information sharing about orders did not have a significant positive effect on the firm’s performance. These results imply that the Guanxi-based network facilitates information sharing between companies and enhance firm’s performance as well. The finding of this study has several implications. First, networks based on the Guanxi relationship play a vital role in enhancing company performance, particularly in countries lacking strong management support infrastructure compared to developed nations. Second, in the event of increased uncertainty in the business environment and a decline in trust between companies, Guanxi-based networks can server as an effective means to overcome these challenges. Third, companies should prioritize strengthening information sharing to enhance their performance within the supply chain.

소개
본 연구소의 설립을 통해 우선 한중 양국 국민의 상호이해와 교류증진을 위한 인문, 사회과학적인 연구는 물론이고, 이를 통해 기업(인)이 중국에 안정적인 정착과 교류를 할 수 있는 각종 환경을 조성하고자 한다.
게다가 본 연구소는 기존의 연구소의 기능과는 달리 단순한 학술 교류에 머물지 않고 인적 교류를 통해 양국관계의 이해를 증진하고 나아가 한국과 중국의 각종 프로젝트를 적극 유치, 개발함으로써 지속적으로 재원의 창출을 도모하고자 한다.
