Varieties of institutional systems: A contextual taxonomy of understudied countries (2016, background): “‘Context,’ and specifically national institutional context of economic organization, are broad terms that encompasses a wide array of elements (Von Glinow & Teagarden, 2009; Redding, 2005).”
The regional nature of Japanese multinational business (2008, methodology): “By identifying the factors that tie FSAs to particular locations we are also responding to the call for more recognition of the importance of context and a more holistic, in-situ examination of firms and their development patterns (Beamish et al., 2005; Redding, 2005).”
Asian Business Systems: Institutional Comparison, Clusters, and Implications for Varieties of Capitalism and Business Systems Theory (2013, methodology): “Within that category, we distinguish between interpersonal trust, which is based on knowledge of the honest disposition of the other, and institutionalized trust, which is based on the confidence that the other will act honestly because there is a system in place that sanctions dishonesty (Whitley, ”
The influence of expatriate cultural intelligence on organizational embeddedness and knowledge sharing: The moderating effects of host country context (2020, background): “Both formal and informal environments are related to each other and culture has been considered as the foundations or underpinnings of formal institutions and their configurations (Redding, 2005).”

The Interrelationships Among Informal Institutions, Formal Institutions, and Inward Foreign Direct Investment (2013, positive): “Conceptual (Redding, 2005; Reed, 1996) and qualitative (Collin, 1998; Greif, 1994) research suggests that a country’s informal institutions, which are reflected in its culture, influence the evolution of its formal institutions.”
An evolutionary approach to understanding international business activity: The co-evolution of MNEs and the institutional environment (2010, positive): “Like other scholars interested in co-evolutionary analyses, we advocate an approach that is historical, contextual and multidisciplinary in nature (Lewin & Volberda, 1999; Redding, 2005).”
Comparing capitalisms: understanding institutional diversity and its implications for international business (2008, background): “The emphasis is on how and why institutions differ across countries, often starting from a ‘‘thick’’ description of institutions (see Redding, 2005) and holistic analysis of institutions within a specific national ‘‘case’’.”
Individual–Level Resources and New Business Activity: The Contingent Role of Institutional Context (2013, background): “Thus, the allocation of resources to the exploitation of new business opportunities cannot be considered in isolation from the broader institutional context in which such opportunity exploitation occurs (Autio & Acs; Redding, 2005).”
Do We Need to Distance Ourselves from the Distance Concept? Why Home and Host Country Context Might Matter More Than (Cultural) Distance (2015, background): “Although pleas for the relevance of context for International Business research are by no means new (see e.g., Schneider and Barsoux 2003; Redding 2005), most management scholars, even in International Business, have not taken context seriously or have only paid lip service to it.”
