Abstract

This conceptual paper explores the effectiveness of Guanxi, a culturally
unique Chinese concept of networking, for Chinese transnational entrepreneurs
operating outside of China. It further investigates the role of Cultural Intelligence
(CQ) as a moderating factor in this relationship. Through an extensive review of
existing literature, this paper proposes a conceptual framework that highlights the
synergistic potential of Guanxi and CQ in enhancing the entrepreneurial
performance of Chinese transnational entrepreneurs globally.
