"La Guanxi" And "Dan Zeren": The Logic Of Small Vanadium Company's Action

As the process of industrialization moves forward, "pollution in the rural areas" has brought a huge number of incidents of environmental protest. The issue of the Environmental-pollution in rural areas caused by industry has gotten great attention, and intense action needs to be taken to tackle it during the process of the transformation in China. In this context, we concerned about the logic of survival of the Environmental-pollution Enterprises. In the basis of the dialogue with the previous paradigm for the study of the Guanxi neworks of enterprises, we developed the paradigm of "La guanxi " and "Dan zeren" to explain. By doing this, we emphasized that taking responsibility is as important as constructing Guanxi neworks for the enterprises.We employed the method of case-study, taking Jieshui vanadium factory in Jiangxi province and Hongdu vanadium factory in Guangxi province as two examples, in order to analyze the direction and their option of strategy of "La guanxi" , as well as the method of "Dan zeren" when vanadium factories pursued to survive. Since the action of the vanadium factories was complex, we explored the structural factors that affect their action in three perspectives: formal institution, informal institution and social capital. With this foundation, we future made it clear the relationship between "La guanxi" and "Dan zeren" in the part of conclusion, and illustrated the interrelationship of action and structure in environmental-pollution enterprises. In addition, we discussed the micro-basis of implement of social responsibility of enterprises.We made two achievements in this thesis. They are as follows. Firstly, we combined the two significant issues—Guanxi networks and the social responsibility of enterprises in economic sociology, and develop the paradigm of "La guanxi" and "Dan zeren" for the analysis of the relationship between Environmental-pollution enterprises in the countryside and villager. Secondly, we found out that the bear of responsibility is a social course full of gaming, which is not determined by the personality of the enterpriser nor by the economic ethic.
