Abstract: The purpose of this doctorate thesis is to study the adoption conditions of management policies and practices in multinational companies' subsidiaries. An extreme case study has been chosen (Danish wholly owned subsidiaries in China) in order to question both the Universalists' assumption that best practices are operational everywhere, and the Culturalists' statement according to which the success of practices depends on their adaptation to local national cultures. The first part of the thesis explains how the Institutionalists' perspective allows studying the organization's interactions with other institutions without cancelling the effect of cultures. The second part presents the methodology based on a qualitative and abductive approach. Finally, the results are developed and analyzed in the third part which gives a typology of ISO 9001 certified organizations and describes the systemic institutional forces that legitimate the found misuse and non-internalization of ISO 9000 standards.
