Abstract:
Extensive literature shows that businesspeople thrive on political connections. Most research, however, does not differentiate between types of political connection, thus effectively assuming that economic return on being connected should not differ systematically between federal and regional, legislative and executive, formal and informal connections. We collect a unique comprehensive dataset on Russia’s richest businesspeople in 2003–2010 and demonstrate that only certain types of connections work, depending on the political context. Our analysis shows that as Russian politics became centralized and the federal executive more powerful during the 2000s, businesspeople with informal connections to the federal executive increased their fortunes much faster compared with everyone else—including those with any other type of connections. Businesspeople’s wealth thus dynamically reflected these important political changes. This suggests a procedure for inferring nominally unobservable changes in the political system from politically connected businesspeople’s fortunes, while also shedding additional light on the institutional origins of informality in Russian politics today.

Abstract:
This paper studies and summarizes the characteristics of business negotiation between China and the United States. The preceding two parts summarize the characteristics of Chinese and American businessmen's negotiation, which shows that Chinese people pay more attention to human relations when negotiating. In addition, it also demonstrates the negotiating advantage of the Americans: being more direct and clear about their goals. The last two parts of the paper focus on how the Chinese and Americans can improve their negotiating skills and the contrast between their approaches to negotiation. It highly summarizes the negotiation methods of the two countries, so that readers can have a clearer understanding of the differences between them. Different countries have different characteristics. During the negotiation, both parties need to respect each other's culture, conduct efficient exchanges, and make the negotiation smoot.

Abstract:
Many communication instructors make allowances for grammatical error in nonnative English speakers’ writing, but do businesspeople do the same? We asked 169 businesspeople to comment on three versions of an email with different types of errors. We found that businesspeople do make allowances for errors made by nonnative English speakers, perceiving these errors as less bothersome than those made by native speakers. We also found that businesspeople perceive pragmatic errors of politeness and tone as even more bothersome than grammatical error—a finding we share with our students to persuade them of the importance of polite and professional email correspondence.

Abstract:
This article studies poverty among self-employed businesspeople in a rich country, Belgium. Existing research on self-employment income, compared with income of employees, has made clear that self-employed have a higher probability of falling in the lowest income groups and that there is a distinct self-employment effect. Our findings for Belgium show that approximately one quarter of those who are self-employed in their main occupation are living below the poverty line. We also confirm findings reported in the literature that income distribution among self-employed people is very unequal. It appears from our qualitative findings that poverty among self-employed businesspeople is something distinct from other forms of poverty. Several factors can cause self-employed businesspeople to end up in poverty. As a result, poverty is a multifaceted problem. Policy recommendations are formulated to prevent and combat poverty among self-employed businesspeople.

Abstract:
Chinese Muslims are a religious minority in a non-Islamic society that has been undergoing rapid economic and social changes. In the emerging market economy of China, Muslims hold various attitudes toward business. Based on 53 in-depth interviews with Muslim businesspeople in the capital city of Beijing, Zhengzhou in Central China, and Guangzhou in Southern China near Hong Kong, the authors find five distinguishable types of Muslim businesspeople: socially detached, socially engaged, pragmatic, traditionalist and secular. The different ways of being Chinese Muslim businesspeople offer valuable information for the understanding of the compatibility of Islam with modernity and with non-Islamic cultures.

Abstract:
In emerging nations, there is an issue with the lack of entrepreneurs. Indonesia faces a number of difficulties, one of which is the dearth of Muslim businesspeople. Islamic entrepreneurship is frequently linked to moral and social values, which are actually ways that Muslims uphold the principles of their religion. This study makes an offer to provide a theoretical framework for encouraging Muslim businesspeople to engage in Islamic social entrepreneurship.

Full text
Abstract:
We investigate the roles of (1) social capital and (2) firm type (formal versus informal) in shaping the relationship between entrepreneurial behavior and firm performance. To further investigate entrepreneurial behavior and its effect on firm performance, we develop two research themes based on two types of entrepreneurial behaviors - assertive behavior and nonassertive behavior. The first research theme focuses on the relationship between entrepreneurs' assertive behavior and firm performance. Taking entrepreneurs' risk-taking behavior as an assertive behavior into account, we identify the conditions under with entrepreneurs' risk-taking behavior results in better firm performance. In Model 1 (detailed in Chapter 2), we investigate whether and how firm type and social capital influence entrepreneurs' risk-taking behavior and its effect on firm performance. Through a field study covering 300 entrepreneurs and the same number of employees, we found that firm type and social capital moderate the relationship between entrepreneurs'risk-taking behavior and firm performance. We further found that entrepreneurs' risk-taking behavior is only beneficial for the firm if entrepreneurs have more social capital in their formal firms. The second research theme focuses on the relationship between entrepreneurs' humility as a nonassertive behavior and firm performance. In Model 2 (detailed in Chapter 3), we conceptualize and investigate the relationship between entrepreneurs' humility and firm performance via social capital in different firm types. Through the same field study, we found that social capital mediates the relationship between entrepreneurs' humility and firm performance. We further found that the indirect effect of entrepreneurs'humility on firm performance via social capital is stronger in informal firms. The theoretical and practical implications of the two studies are then discussed.

Abstract:
ZusammenfassungThis chapter presents the results of the testimony analysis of Odebrecht businessmen who were involved in Operation Car Wash, specifically concerning illegal political financing. This approach was made through the analytical category of representation, and it allowed us to verify a specific and little-explored dimension of the political culture and the political action of the businessmen: the practice of corruption, that is recognised as an illegal action. The analysed statements indicate a certain homogeneity in the characterisation of the company’s political illicit practice and the relationship with the political system as something that was given and that could not be done differently. Thus, both concerning the legal and illegal scope of the company’s political actions, there was an allegation of impotence in the face of how the relationship between businesspeople and politicians in Brazil took place, which shows an essential aspect of the way influential Brazilian businesspeople thought and how they acted in the face of politics and democracy.

Abstract:
AbstractSocial enterprise (SE) has experienced rapid development over the last 15 years in Hong Kong both in quantity and quality of its solutions and models and the diversity of social issues tackled. In this chapter, we reflect on the journey of the rise of this sector in Hong Kong, the key drivers of and players in the sector, and some of the encouraging and discouraging lessons we learned so far––as observers and operators––in the sector. However, SE are not alone since there are other newer developments such as Certified B Corporation (B Corp)––starting six years ago in Hong Kong––which has a shared interest but follows a different trajectory and model closer to the business world. Following these insights, we conducted focus groups to further understand key businesspeople and social enterprise players’ views about what B Corp can do to achieve “shared prosperity” in Hong Kong. While this chapter does not offer a formula to resolve Hong Kong’s problems, it provides some useful recommendations on the applicability of B Corp as a framework to inspire and guide mainstream businesses to become purpose-driven companies that strike a healthy balance of people, profit, and planet.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the illegal or semi-legal means Chinese Indonesian businesspeople tend to adopt to gain and protect their business and personal interests in the post-Suharto era. These business practices in turn perpetuate and reproduce the corrupt and muddy business environment, as well as the predatory political-business system. They also reproduce and reinforce stereotypes of the Chinese as wealthy, corrupt, and opportunistic, the perfect targets of extortion. Although there are also Chinese businesspeople who refuse to be victims of extortion and choose to fight against these illegal practices, such businesspeople are rare. If one wishes to see more Chinese Indonesian businesspeople who refuse to be extorted and do not get involved in illegal and semi-legal practices, a better-enforced rule of law must be in place.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes gender differences in three Chilean professional labor markets, business, law and medicine, utilizing a new and rich data set collected for this purpose. The results show that differences in wages attributed to gender are only present in the legal profession. In business/economics, a vector of current family condition eliminates the gender effect and in Medicine, taking into account hours worked, size of firm and region also eliminates gender differences. The paper further shows that individuals' perceived locus of control (internal or external) is relevant in explaining the distribution of earnings.

What are the implications of non-state armed group taxation on the business environment and conflict dynamics? Various non-state armed groups collect ‘tax’ along arterial roads in north-east India – of different types and amounts, with varying degrees of coercion and systematisation. Based on extensive fieldwork, including 100 interviews with non-state armed groups, businesspeople and state actors, we use the lens of the transit economy in the Indian state of Manipur along the Indo-Myanmar border to identify the long-term effects of non-state armed group taxation.

Abstract:
What are the effects of rebel taxation? Along arterial roads in north-east India, various non state armed groups collect ‘tax’ – of different types and amounts, with varied degrees of coercion and systematisation. Based on extensive fieldwork, including 100 interviews with non-state armed groups, businesspeople and state actors, this paper uses the lens of the transit economy in the Indian state of Manipur along the Indo-Myanmar border to identify the long-term effects of rebel taxes and the taxation ecosystem. It finds that taxation by armed groups shapes the business environment, has pervasive implications on the legitimacy of state governance, and creates a political order that lies between active conflict and peace. The paper further shows that these effects of rebel taxation can be best understood through an interplay of institutional factors, the number of groups present, and the relationship between the state and rebel groups.
