We review the relationships between institutions and global strategy and explain several clarifications for future research. First, studies need to clarify the standard used to assess quality in institutional dimensions they research rather than let readers assess them from the measures. Second, analyses need to specify the theoretical approach used, which may be based on the paradigm from a single discipline (economics, sociology, politics, psychology) or the integration of underlying disciplines, as often seen in management. This must form the basis of a consistent set of assumptions rather than a potpourri of arguments from incompatible logics. Third, investigations need to clarify the direction of relationship and mechanisms. On the one hand, studies on the impact of institutions on strategy should clarify the institutional influences used (adapt, appeal, avoid). On the other hand, research on the effect of strategy on institutional change should clarify the institutional strategies (inform, influence, incentivize) and institutional spillovers (compete, command, copy) by which firms change institutions.

澄清机构与全球战略之间的关系

我们回顾了机构与全球战略之间的关系，并解释了一些需要进一步研究的澄清。首先，研究需要阐明用来评估他们所研究的机构维度的质量的标准，而不是让读者从度量中对其进行评估。其次，分析需要指定使用的理论方法，该方法可以基于单一学科（经济学，社会学，政治学，心理学）的范式或基础学科的整合，这在管理中经常可见。这必须构成一组一致的假设的基础，而不是构成不兼容逻辑的各种参数的基础。第三，调查需要弄清关系和机制的方向。一方面，有关机构对战略影响的研究应阐明所使用的机构影响（适应，呼吁，避免）。另一方面，对战略对制度变迁的影响的研究应阐明企业改变制度的制度战略（信息，影响，激励）和制度溢出（竞争，命令，复制）。
