In our case study, we highlight the important role of inter-organizational networks to coordinate engagement with the cognitive, normative, and regulative pillars of host country institutions. This networked form of institutional entrepreneurship involves the formation of inter-organizational networks for the purpose of bringing about institutional change collaboratively. In the process of transferring apprenticeship, a particular vision of workforce training was created, support gathered, and institutional change was sustained locally around the issue of training. We argue further that networked institutional entrepreneurship is a useful strategic tool to overcome the particular kind of institutional distance between the institutional settings of more coordinated market economies (CMEs) and more liberal market-oriented economies (LMEs). We contribute to existing knowledge by showing how practice transfer is shaped by particular kinds of institutional distance, and highlighting the role of inter-organizational networks as a way of governing collective agency associated with institutional entrepreneurship and the emergence of new local proto-institutions.","50 Seiten","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/26643||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-26400","eng","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/","300 Sozialwissenschaften::330 Wirtschaft::331 Arbeitsökonomie","institutional entrepreneurship||MNEs||agency||practice transfer||institutional distance||apprenticeships||inter-organizational networks||networked institutional entrepreneurship","Legitimizing the apprenticeship practice in a distant environment: Institutional entrepreneurship through inter-organizational networks","Wissenschaftlicher Artikel","open access","10.1016/j.jwb.2016.05.002","Journal of world business","6","909","895","https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jwb.2016.05.002","51","1090-9516","Wirtschaftswissenschaft","Betriebswirtschaftslehre / Management-Department:::bdec8274-f75a-4d64-a3d8-cfd32b0a0bf3:::600","no"
