• What drives firms' intent to seek strategic assets by foreign direct investment? A study of emerging economy firms (2014, background): “Recent studies suggest that, due to their lack of firm specific advantages and weak locally available assets, EE MNEs as ‘‘late-comers’’ often engage in SAS FDI to acquire strategic assets overseas (Boisot & Meyer, 2008; Child & Rodrigues, 2005; Li, Li, & Shapiro, 2012; Luo & Tung, 2007).”
• Academic collaborations and firm innovation performance in China: : The role of region-specific institutions (2015, background): “The three phases (namely, delegation of responsibility for economic performance, tax contributions to the central government and delegation of control for state-owned enterprises and organizations) led to a significant institutional and economic fragmentation of the country (Boisot and Meyer, 2008).”
• The Institutional Influence on the Location Strategies of Multinational Enterprises from Emerging Economies: Evidence from China's Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions (2016, background): “A few empirical examinations of Chinese OFDI have taken into account institutional factors (e.g., Boisot & Meyer, 2008; Buckley et al., 2007; Cheung & Qian, 2009; Kolstad & Wiig, 2012; Mork et al., 2008; Zhang et al., 2011), but they have not comprehensively modelled institutions in their empirical…”
• Cross-border mergers and acquisitions by Chinese listed companies: A principal–principal perspective (2010, background): “China currently is experiencing such dramatic change that it creates a natural environment in which to examine the generalizability of conventional theories ( Boisot & Meyer, 2008 ).”
• Barriers and public policies affecting the international expansion of Latin American SMEs: Evidence from Brazil, Colombia, and Peru (2016, background): “These inefficient public assistance programmes, unsuited business services, institutional bias that favours personal contacts, domestic regulatory discrimination, and scarcity of resources, may push SMEs to find more suitable environments in what was called institutional arbitrage by Boisot and Meye”
• Drivers of Global CSR Integration and Local CSR Responsiveness: Evidence from Chinese MNEs (2016, background): “In addition to sourcing strategic assets and knowledge-enhancing competitive advantages, crossborder M&As can serve as vehicles to engage in “institutional arbitrage”, which refers to the exploitation of differences across various institutional environments and jurisdictions (Boisot & Meyer, 2008).”
• Institutional open access at home and outward internationalization (2015, unknown): “…argue that EE firms’ primary motivation to go abroad is not to leverage their competitive advantages, but to avoid a number of competitive disadvantages incurred by home country institutions (Boisot & Meyer, 2008; Child & Rodrigues, 2005; Hoskisson et al., 2013; Peng, Sun, & Blevins, 2011).”
• Chinese Private Firms and Internationalization (2014, unknown): “In addition, firms internationalize to overcome unfavorable competitive and institutional environments (Boisot & Meyer, 2008) or to upgrade their capabilities rather than to exploit their competitive advantages (Luo, 2000).”
• Globalization of Chinese Firms Theoretical Universalism or Particularism (2011, background): “The globalization of Chinese firms, in particular, has garnered increasing attention in the professional literature (Boisot & Meyer, 2008; Buckley, 2004; Child & Rodrigues, 2005; Wang, Boateng, & Hong, 2011; Williamson & Raman, 2011; Zeng & Williamson, 2007).”
