Tiivistelmä
This paper focuses on understanding how the changes triggered by an MNE’s entry influence on long term the host industry’s institutional landscape. We employ a novel perspective incorporating the ideas, concepts and insights of institutional theory and FDI spillover studies to theory building and empirical analysis. The built theoretical framework combines the mechanisms discussed in spillover studies with assumptions of micro-macro linkages of institutional logic perspective. The framework is then employed in an illustrative qualitative case study on a Finnish multinational’s entry to Russian bakery market. The illustrative case study shows how an entry by a single MNE to a transition economy can significantly alter the institutional landscape of a particular industry, especially at the normative level.
