This paper provides a review of the existing literature about the co-evolution of emerging economy multinational enterprises (EMNEs) and institutions and proposes directions for future study. We find that many existing studies involving the institution-EMNE relationship focus on the impact of institutions on EMNEs, and the research on their co-evolution is very limited in terms of emerging economies involved and theories and research methods applied. Given varieties of the institution-EMNE relationship we call for more studies by applying more contextualized theoretical perspectives and innovative and multiple research methods to advance our knowledge about the topic.

本文回顾了有关新兴经济跨国企业和机构共同进化的现有文献，并提出了未来研究的方向。我们发现，许多涉及机构与新兴市场国家关系的现有研究都集中在机构对新兴市场国家的影响上，而在涉及新兴经济体以及所采用的理论和研究方法方面，关于它们的共同进化的研究非常有限。考虑到机构与新兴市场国家关系的多样性，我们要求通过应用更多上下文相关的理论观点以及创新的多种研究方法来提高我们对这一主题的知识，从而进行更多的研究。
