How Institutions Influence SME Innovation and Networking Practices: The Case of Vietnamese Agribusiness
通过研究越南农业领域的中小企业，发现制度框架限制了长期投资激励，导致企业偏向成本控制而非产品创新，同时社会规范形成的信任网络可能阻碍知识获取和商业理性。
This paper addresses impacts of the institutional framework on small and medium‐sized enterprise () innovation and networking practices. Through an explorative study of a domestic ‐dominated sector in ietnam, we find that the institutional framework limits incentives for long‐term investments, resulting in exploitative cost‐control strategies rather than product‐oriented innovation. Due to dominating social norms, form trust‐based friendship networks, potentially limiting knowledge acquisition and weakening business rationality. Institutional pressures reinforce negative influences on s' incentives to develop innovation ambidexterity. The findings suggest that new institutional economic sociology provides a promising foundation for understanding how institutional frameworks influence s' innovation practices in emerging economies.
