This study discovers that market exchange is the primary channel, social relations the secondary and governmental arrangement the least popular. The selection of an access channel to production resources is influenced by the type of ownership of the enterprise, its size, and the values and beliefs of its leaders. The state-owned enterprises, as well as the big ones, rely more on governmental arrangement but less on market exchange or social relations than other types of enterprises; whereas the major channel for private enterprises is social network. Enterprisers with study or work experiences in other countries try to get their resources for production chiefly through market exchange rather than social relations. This study indicates the necessity to promote marketization in China and to improve the environment for the development of non-public-owned and small/medium-size enterprises.展开更多
