“…Indeed, some or all of these institutions have been featured in the scholarship on the management of emerging economies, including countries in Central and Eastern Europe such as the Czech Republic (Clark and Soulsby, 1999;Kogut and Spicer, 2002) and Russia (Kogut and Spicer, 2002); in Asia such as China ( Jefferson and Rawski, 1995;Peng, 1997); and in Latin America including Chile and Brazil (Nelson, 1990). Our reference to institutions embraces their operation in addition to their existence.…”

Using the Toulmin method, we present an epistemological analysis of Porter's Five Forces Framework (FFF) in light of the increasing evidence pertaining to the institutional context in emerging economies. The analysis reveals three key qualifiers in the theoretical structure of FFF - transaction costs, capital flows and laws governing rivalry. Evidence from emerging economies indicates that FFF's assumptions about the qualifiers are not met in these economies. Indeed, firms in these economies adopt strategies not derivable from FFF to tackle their unique institutional contexts. Our Toulmin analysis helps pinpoint the directions for further research in emerging economies. Specifically, the three qualifiers provide a meaningful way of building typologies and taxonomies to accommodate the diversity of institutional contexts and to link them to firm-level strategies. Our discussion also highlights the need to turn the spotlight on laws governing rivalry, a relatively under-explored topic in emerging economies, and the effectiveness of different network strategies.

This article seeks to advance our understanding of organizational change by exploring the relationships between patterns of organizational restructuring and identity dynamics as they interrelate over time. Our arguments are set in the empirical context of post-socialist Central Europe and the data, derived from the longitudinal study of a former state-owned enterprise that has been visited many times from 1993 to 2011, tell the story of a process of vertical disintegration. The article contributes to the field by elaborating the dynamic effects of identity ambivalence and identity conflict on top management decision making and the consequent social construction of organizational change processes.
