隨著經濟體制改革的推進，中國國有企業惡化了貪腐行為，國企中相關的行為者，無不加劇勾結，以竊取國有資產。雖然何增科曾提出「串通模式」，企圖描述國有企業內的勾結行為，但是他的模型，卻無法充分解釋在習近平的反腐改革下，當前國企複雜的合謀行為（He，2000）。有鑑於此，本研究將針對他的模型不足之處，提出補充，以期能更周延的探討中國國有企業中多行為者共謀的腐敗現象。筆者以個案研究為方法，藉由司法，國家和媒體層面的相關腐敗數據，去探討石油，電信和電力公用事業行業內的18起關鍵性的國有企業腐敗案件。研究顯示，國企內的貪腐盤根錯節，涉及國有企業和私營部門，家族企業，國內企業，地方政府和中央政府的共謀網絡。本實證研究最主要的貢獻，試圖類型化上述各種勾結行為，並深入刻劃他們的共謀行為的策略和方法，同時強調了制度的脆弱性，並指出未來政策改革的倡議。

Ensuing economic reform, China’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have steadily devolved into a collusion course; a state in which multiple actors collude with SOEs to extract state-owned assets. While Zengke He’s collusion model provides a general description of these actors, the extent of collusion participation remains ill-defined under Xi Jingping’s anticorruption reforms (He, 2000). The critical case study presented in this thesis challenges He’s model and its participants, while redefining how multi-actor collusion pervades corruption within China’s SOEs. By accumulating case-level corruption data from judicial, state and media-level sources, the research examines eighteen SOE corruption cases within the petroleum, telecommunications and electric-utilities industries. The empirical findings acknowledge omissions in Zengke He’s model, revealing collusive networks involving SOE actors and private-sector, family-business, intra-SOE, political-regional and political-national actors. As the main contribution of the study, the empirical findings highlight subtypes within each actor-type to define their strategies and methods of collusion, while underscoring institutional vulnerabilities and key areas for policy reform.
