Government Corruption and the Entry Strategies of Multinationals
提出一个二维框架,从腐败的普遍性和任意性两个维度分析政府腐败如何影响跨国公司的组织合法性和进入模式选择。
Multinational enterprises (MNEs) often encounter government corruption when operating in host countries; however, in the international management literature, it is typically assumed that government officials pursue national interests rather than their own. We introduce a two-dimensional framework to further the understanding of public sector corruption and identify its implications for MNEs. Using an institutional perspective, we examine how the pervasiveness and arbitrariness of corruption can affect an MNE's organizational legitimacy and strategic decision making. We apply our analysis to the mode of entry decision.
