Neo-institutionalism and business sustainability in emerging economies

Kelling, Nikolas Konstantin

This dissertation deals with the institutional environment surrounding the private sector in the various emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) worldwide where most of the global population lives. Its primary purpose is to identify and combine theoretical aspects of new (sociological) institutionalism/neo-institutionalism to better understand the role of institutional environments in shaping business impacts on sustainable development. Institutions shape the behaviour of individuals as well as entire groups and oblige people and organizations to conform to rules, norms and beliefs. A better understanding of institutions should allow us to more accurately predict (sustainability) practices in EMDE contexts due to the predictive character of institutions. To make the most of the strategic nature of institutions and capitalise on the paved ways of neo-institutionalism, the overarching research question (ORQ) is: How do neo-institutional concepts aid in understanding the institutional antecedents of business impacts on sustainable development in emerging markets and developing economies?
