| Abstract: | Cross-national variation in institutional environments adds uncertainty to foreign operations, which in turn affects international strategy decisions such as when to enter a market, the entry mode used if entering, as well as the performance of foreign entries. Although all firms are exposed to the influence of a host country's institutional environment, firms exhibit differential responses to this influence based on resident knowledge and capabilities. Managers in a multinational firm must therefore work to align their strategies with both the hazards and opportunities they face in a given institutional environment, as well as with the firm-specific knowledge and capabilities at their disposal. Rather than taking institutions as an immutable constraint when making decisions, a firm can cultivate and exploit its ability to successfully manage diverse institutional hazards in its host country environments. |
