Is Interpersonal Guanxi Beneficial in Fostering Interfirm Trust? The Contingent Effect of Institutional- and Individual-Level Characteristics
Despite the prevalent role of guanxi in conducting business in Chinese, it is unclear whether interpersonal guanxi fosters interfirm trust. Taking a contingency approach, this study examines how institutional (government–market relationship and Buddhism influence) and individual (relative role performance and the span of partner control) factors moderate the association between interpersonal guanxi and interfirm trust. Based on a paired survey between salespersons and sales managers and two secondary datasets, this study finds that interpersonal guanxi is positively associated with interfirm trust. Moreover, this positive eifect is stronger when firms operate in regions with strong government–market relationships and strong Buddhism influence. In addition, the positive relationship is weaker when guanxi resides in boundary spanners who have relatively high role performance, but becomes stronger when boundary spanners have a broad span of partner control. These findings highlight the situations in which guanxi at an interpersonal level is more or less likely to foster interfirm trust.

The Aura of Seven: Reconsidering the Shichibutsu Yakushi Iconography
Art representing the Buddha often relates scriptures relating the 32 transcendental attributes of his body. Scriptures often describe his golden hue or the light coming from his body. Artists represent this through flat disks signifying \"his spiritual glow,\" known as the \"mandorla.\" One popular design of the Heian period was the Buddha Yakushi on whose mandorla sat seven smaller Buddhas. This essay examines this design. It traces the history of the iconographical transformation of Buddha Yakushi, focusing on the changes in mandorlas.
