重視「關係」的論點反映在東南亞華人企業的經營文化。有學者認為：華人企業之所以在東南亞地區能夠建立龐大的企業帝國，歸功於建立關係的「筷子網路」。挑戰的觀點來自「亞洲教父」：華人企業建立「關係」的目的，是藉由「關係」獲取「政商利益」進而壟斷財富。兩個理論解釋是一個對立關係。究竟何種解釋可以解釋泰國華人企業的「關係運作」？成為研究者感興趣的話題。本文是根據作者過去五年連續參與泰國企業運作，得到實證研究成果。透過實證調查，本文提出不同於「筷子網路」與「亞洲教父」針對關係運作的解釋，提出「大亨經濟」的觀點。本文認為，在商業活動上，泰國還是屬於「市場經濟」在運作；「大亨經濟」是「重視關係」的文化背景結合「經濟策略」建構下的商業現象。
