Confucianism ethic, Guanxi, and acculturation role on the knowledge transfer process of Chinese descendant in Indonesia (Dataset and R code)

This research aims to construct knowledge on the role of knowledge management and elaborates on the development dynamics of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of Chinese descent in Indonesia. This paper attempts to develop a theoretical understanding of how the knowledge transfer process, as part of knowledge management in the SME among the Chinese descendant community, is explained by the relationships among Confucianism ethics, Guanxi, acculturation, and knowledge transfer. In a field survey of 139 owner of the SME, we found that the integration of Confucianism ethic in the social life of the Chinese descendant community has shaped a particular organisation pattern, that creates very unique partnership relationship what is so called as Guanxi; also, the acculturation process will generate an integration pattern, that will become the mediating bridge to create efficiency and effectiveness in the process of knowledge transfer.
