How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Escaping the iron cage: Liabilities of origin and CSR reporting of emerging market multinational enterprises (2017, background): “Such research could contribute to our understanding of how local actors transform practices to fit their specific settings as they diffuse across national borders (Czarniawska & Sevón, 1996, 2005; Durand & Jacqueminet, 2015).”
The Global Professional Service Firm: ‘One Firm’ Models versus (Italian) Distant Institutionalized Practices (2013, methodology): “Similarly, more research is required on the processes of translation (Czarniawska & Sévon, 2005; Morris & Lancaster, 2006) deployed by GPSFs as they modify some of their global practices to make them legitimate and workable in a local context.”
Exposed: Venture Capital, Competitor Ties, and Entrepreneurial Innovation (2014, background): “2 Abrahamson (2006), in his review of Global Ideas: How Ideas, Objects, and Practices Travel in the Global Economy, compared information transmission via networks to the children’s game of telephone: knowledge is “translated” such that later instantiations bear little resemblance to the original.”
Schumpeter, Winter, and the sources of novelty (2006, background): “By noting some of the ways in which imitation is an imperfect replicator of routines, Winter anticipates recent work emphasizing that diffusion involves systematic transformation of routines in association with their transfer (Czarniawska and Sevón, 1996, 2005).”
