The role of multinational corporations in transnational institution building: A policy network perspective
批判并重新定义了国际商务与制度文献中关于跨国公司（MNCs）与制度互动的观点，从经济社会学和政治经济学出发，提出MNCs通过创建或参与跨国社会经济系统中的政策网络来影响制度发展，并描述了网络类型、MNCs的相对位置及其权力。
In this article, we provide a critique and re-specification of international business and institutional literature related to the interactions of multinational corporations (MNCs) and institutions. Drawing from research in economic sociology and political economy, we offer a novel perspective on MNCs’ influence on transnational institution building. We argue that MNCs seek to influence institutional development by creating or participating in policy networks within transnational social and economic systems. We describe different types of policy networks, the relative position that MNCs occupy within them, and the power MNCs yield by virtue of their position and influence within those networks. We provide examples to illustrate how MNCs exploit these network relationships to influence emergent institutions and to advance convergence in institutional policies. The policy network perspective is an effective and useful mode of analysis to understand the range of interactions among MNCs and the institutional fields in which they operate.
