In this paper, we leverage the concept of organizational field, currently under-explored in international business literature, to understand how multinational enterprises (MNEs) from developed markets (DMs) strategically manage their institutional context in emerging markets (EMs). To develop theoretical arguments, we focus on institutional strategies and theorize how and to what extent MNEs in central, peripheral, and intermediate field positions engage with host country institutions in EMs. Using an international business perspective, organizational theory, and illustrations from EMs, we develop a dynamic view of field positions to identify how MNEs' intermediate repositioning trajectories in between the field's center and the periphery, driven by environmental and corporate factors, lead to the associated changes in the form and scope of institutional strategies deployed in EMs. In doing so, we offer testable propositions for future research.

新兴市场中的跨国公司进入后制度战略：组织领域定位视角

在本文中，我们利用目前在国际商业文献中未充分探索的组织领域的概念，来了解来自发达市场 (DM) 的跨国企业 (MNE) 如何战略性地管理其在新兴市场 (EM) 中的制度环境。为了发展理论论证，我们专注于制度战略，并理论化位于中心、外围和中间领域的跨国企业如何以及在何种程度上与新兴市场中的东道国机构合作。利用国际商业视角、组织理论和新兴市场的插图，我们开发了现场职位的动态视图，以确定跨国企业的中间重新定位轨迹在环境和企业因素的驱动下，在该领域的中心和外围之间，导致新兴市场中所部署的制度战略的形式和范围发生了相关的变化。在这样做的过程中，我们为未来的研究提供了可测试的命题。
