Chapter Chapter 5 in Western Multinational Corporations in Latin America, 2022, pp 173-196 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Applying the newly developed framework, institutional contradiction and potential actor-induced change are subjected to in-depth empirical scrutiny using the case of MNCs from France, Germany, the USA, and the UK that operate wholly owned subsidiaries (WOS) in the Latin American countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia. This chapter introduces the case by, first, showcasing MNCs’ prevalence in Latin America, second, scrutinizing the chosen countries’ degree of fit as representatives of the systems proposed by Chap. 3 , third, providing an institutional diagnosis of developmental distortions, and, fourth, making methodological consideration leading to a sequential mixed-method design capturing both broad patterns of behavior and detailed dynamics of institutional change.
