Institutional Theory in the Study of Multinational Corporations: A Critique and New Directions
批判了跨国公司研究中狭隘的新制度主义应用,提出整合新旧制度主义以构建更创新的理论。
This paper was motivated by the growing interest of scholars of multinational corporations (MNCs) in the institutional perspective. Our review of the literature suggests that international management applications of this perspective have been dominated by a narrow set of neoinstitutional ideas. We develop a set of provocations that challenge the validity of traditional neoinstitutionalism in the context of MNCs. We then offer ideas for more novel theory building in the study of MNCs, based on integrating “old” and “new” institutionalism.
