　　斯科特·贝尔福（安利亚洲副总裁和首席区域策略）说，哈佛计划是许多公司参与旨在帮助当地社区的行动之一。“如果没有这个计划，我们同样会成功”，他说，“我不认为这是我们成功的关键，但我们当然感到非常自豪”。

　　官员与安利的关系是令人印象深刻的，Corey Lindley曾帮助位于犹他州普罗沃的如新公司建立其在亚洲的皮肤护理直销业务，并为该公司在中国工作了四年，“你必须要与政府建立关系，安利在这方面是大师”。

　　Amway Fellows

　　The Amway Fellows get to put the prestigious imprimaturs of Harvard and its partners in China — a policy research arm of China’s State Council and Tsinghua University — on their resumes. (Of the 20 fellows that Bloomberg contacted, three declined to comment and the rest didn’t respond to faxed or e-mailed interview requests.)

　　Scott Balfour, vice president and lead regional counsel for Amway in Asia, says the Harvard program is just one of many that the company is involved in to help local communities.

　　“We’d have the same success without this program,” he says. “I don’t think this is a linchpin of our success, but we certainly are very proud of it.”

　　Amway’s guanxi with officials is impressive, says Corey Lindley, who helped Provo, Utah-based Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. (NUS) establish its skin-care direct-selling business in Asia and spent four years in China for the company. “You have to build relationships with the government, and Amway has been a master of that,” he says.
