The existing literature suggests that the influence of Guanxi on business operation is considered extremely important by both the research community and practitioners. As an important part of the business operation the implementation and performance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is therefore also affected by Guanxi. What is the effect of Guanxi on CSR and how it influences CSR is the research goal of this thesis project. Three top level managers from three companies in the fabrication industry of smart card in China are invited to participate a oneto-one semi-structured interview. Data collected from the interviews are analyzed using the qualitative approach. Findings of this project are of practical significance. The positive influence of Guanxi on CSR lies mainly in the implementation and performance of economic responsibility; whereas the negative influence lies mainly in the implementation and performance of legal, ethical and philanthropic responsibilities.
早期文献指出，关系对企业的经营活动有的影响，上至企业经营者，下至企业员工都认为是非常重要的。那么作为企业经营一部分的企业社会责任的实施和履行也必然会受到相应的影响。而怎样影响？又造成什么样的影响？这正是本文研究目的之所在。以半结构式访谈为主要资料采集方式，本文在中国智能卡制卡行业的三家企业中，选取了三位适当的人选，进行了访谈。对所得到的相关资料，本着科学的和严谨的态度，采用质量分析法，得出如下结论：关系对企业社会责任的正面影响主要体现在对其中的经济责任的实施和履行上；而负面影响主要体现在对其中的法律责任、伦理责任和慈善责任的实施和履行上。
