The Mirror Effect: Corporate Social Responsibility, Corporate Social Irresponsibility and Firm Performance in Coordinated Market Economies and Liberal Market Economies (2019, background): “The VoC framework is far from perfect (Allen, 2004) in terms of its lack of applicability to Asian countries (Witt and Redding, 2013), the presence of ‘hybrid’ market economies (Hall and Soskice, 2001) and the underestimation of institutional change (Crouch, 2005).”
Asset Specificity, Institutional Complementarities and the Variety of Skill Regimes in Coordinated Market Economies (2009, background): “On the theoretical front, scholars have criticized the insensitivity of the VoC approach with regard to variation within countries (Herrmann, 2008) and between economic sectors (Allen, 2004); its overemphasis on ‘self-reinforcing equilibria’ and the related insensitivity towards processes of institu”
Varieties of Capitalism and institutional comparative advantage: A test and reinterpretation (2016, background): “Despite much criticism (Allen, 2004; Blyth, 2003) and alternative theoretical frameworks for comparing institutions (Amable, 2003; Crouch & Streeck, 1997; Whitley, 1999), the Varieties of Capitalism framework continues to have a uniquely powerful hold on the field.”

Comparing capitalisms: understanding institutional diversity and its implications for international business (2008, background): “…regarding the two-dimensional CME vs LME typology, including its neglect of the state (Ebbinghaus, 1999; Schmidt, 2002) and the problems of reconciling the theory of complementarities with the empirical observations of mixed cases or change in capitalist systems (Allen, 2004; Blyth, 2003).”
Towards a More Dynamic Theory of Capitalist Variety (2007, background): “But others argue that this view is also unable to produce a theoretically coherent account of institutional change (Allen 2004; Howell 2003).”
From Typology to Taxonomy: A Configurational Analysis of National Business Systems and their Explanatory Power (2014, background): “As a result, I was unable to capture sub-national variation in business systems (Allen, 2004; Lane & Wood, 2009; Whitley, 2007) or assess the impact of increased internationalization on the diversity of firms within countries (e.”
The Resilient Family Firm: Stakeholder Outcomes and Institutional Effects (2015, background): “While the comparative capitalism perspective parsimoniously distinguishes important differences between the Anglo-Saxon and continental European institutional regimes, it represents a binary model of national governance bundles(1) (Hall & Soskice, 2001) that may fail to adequately capture important ”
How Many Varieties of Capitalism? Comparing the Comparative Institutional Analyses of Capitalist Diversity (2006, unknown): “…true for the Hall and Soskice (VoC) framework in which fi rm strategies, and thus their institutional preferences, are endogenously derived (Allen 2004).20 An important implication is that foreign best practices cannot be easily imported to the degree that they confl ict with or lack the…”
