What is Journal of World Business special issue: Institutions, entrepreneurship and co-evolution in international business about?

While the strategic importance of institutions to firms' performance is well recognised in IB, the nexus between institutions and agency 1 (i.e., purposeful action by entrepreneurial individuals, groups or organisations) remains under-developed. The aim of this JWB special issue is to stimulate work that promotes new theory and empirical, public policy and practitioner insights on the relationship between institutions (residing at various levels of analysis) and agency in international business. Institutions -whether formal or informal, whether internal or external to the firm -are largely taken-for-granted, culturallyembedded understandings of appropriate social arrangements and behaviours. Early perspectives in neo-institutional theory emphasised the power of institutions to determine patterns of action and organisation, thereby explaining the convergence of MNEs and managerial practices within the same institutional environment. That is, firm and individual behaviour was viewed as being shaped and constrained by pre-existing formal and informal institutions that reside at the country or international levels of analysis (e.g., laws, intellectual property rights protection regimes
