This research volume in honour of the late Daniél Van Den Bulcke, one of the founding fathers of the European Business Academy (EIBA) and a core institution builder of the Academy of International Business (AIB), focuses on conceptual innovations in assessing the impact of institutions on multinational enterprise (MNE) strategies. More specifically, the key question addressed in this volume is whether (and how) elements of institutional diversity affect MNE behaviour. Key sections include: New Governance Determinants of MNE Behaviour; New Approaches to Defining and Measuring Institutional Distance; New Perspectives on the Role of Country Specific Advantages in International Business Decisions; Institutional Diversity in the Emerging Economy Context.
