One of the ways to keep customer loyal is by focusing on the relationship between the company and the customer. In western countries this practiced is called Relationship Marketing, while in China it's called Guanxi. Both of Guanxi and Relationship Marketing share some similarities as well as differences as they are from two different cultures. Thus its common sense to use Guanxi when you are in china or dealing with Chinese based companies and use Relationship Marketing for western countries/companies. However, as the world becoming one, there is one new community which is called overseas Chinese. A special case of this overseas Chinese is Indonesian overseas Chinese. Which one to use in dealing with Indonesian overseas Chinese? Is it Guanxi or Relationship Marketing? This work in progress paper is going to find this out by comparing Guanxi and Relationship Marketing components and analyze them using the AHP and Delphi method sampling on Indonesian overseas Chinese community.
