Abstract
The papers included in this volume address the role of institutions in international business strategy and their links with the performance of firms and countries. Section 1 delves into the issues of how institutions and business strategies are intertwined, with special emphasis on socially (ir)responsible activities and corporate wrongdoing. Section 2 looks at the links between institutions and the economic performance of both firms and countries, especially in emerging market contexts. Section 3 investigates MNE subsidiary strategies and their role in host country economic development. Finally, the group of contributions that make up Section 4 concentrates on aspects such as the degree and direction of multinationality and its subsequent effects on firm performance.
