This work-in-progress study seeks to conceptually validate the key contentions of two interrelated strands of institutional theory: institutional transplantation and institutional distances. This is achieved by examining the disagreements and resistance encountered within the context of the Japanese MNE Toyota’s transnational operations. The article adopts a conceptual methodology consistent with Cropanzano’s (Cropanzano, R., Journal of Management 35: 1304–1311, 2009), and criteria for conceptual studies, and draws from institutional theory, and from the research literature on Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), Japan. The study holds significance for policy makers and practitioners involved with the transference across institutional contexts, of home-grown managerial models and concepts.

摘要

This work-in-progress study seeks to conceptually validate the key contentions of two interrelated strands of institutional theory: institutional transplantation and institutional distances. This is achieved by examining the disagreements and resistance encountered within the context of the Japanese MNE Toyota’s transnational operations. The article adopts a conceptual methodology consistent with Cropanzano’s (Cropanzano, R., Journal of Management 35: 1304–1311, 2009), and criteria for conceptual studies, and draws from institutional theory, and from the research literature on Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), Japan. The study holds significance for policy makers and practitioners involved with the transference across institutional contexts, of home-grown managerial models and concepts.
