It has often been remarked that Chinese businesses depend on networking for their success, especially networking based on family and lineage. This article examines the fortunes of two family businesses from the same area of south-eastern China, and attempts to explain why one succeeded and the other failed. It argues that it is insufficient to rely on the vague notion that networking was somehow effective; the reliance on patrilineage in one case and on maternal kin in the other had very different consequences
