Resumo: | When managing international manufacturing operations, firms are expected to make choices and face trade-offs. They operate within host-country institutional frameworks and are exposed to multiple and asymmetric institutional pressures, which somehow influence their decisions in multiple ways. Therefore, institutional frameworks set “the rules of the game” (North, 1990) and signal which choices are acceptable (Peng, 2002). Based on that, the purpose of this study is to comprehend how companies’ operations decisions are influenced by host-country formal institutions in international manufacturing. This is an exploratory research about two extreme cases of Brazilian textile-apparel companies that expanded their operations to Paraguay under the “Maquila regime”. It is guided by the institution-based view of international business. The study finds that four aspects of the Paraguayan institutional environment (i.e. environment uncertainty, high intervention of the government in business, inadequate number – or even lack – of market intermediaries and complexity and inefficiency of institutional mechanisms) shaped some operations decisions taken in the host country over time. A list of propositions is thus offered and help to synthetize the findings. The research contributes to the literature on global operations management by adding an institutional perspective to it and expanding the field towards an open system and beyond the factories’ walls, as suggested by Spring et al. (2017). It also brings elements for managerial (e.g. importance of the institutional environment for decisions taken by managers) and public policy (e.g. industrial policies and firm competitiveness) implications. |

Elas operam dentro das estruturas institucionais do país hospedeiro e estão expostas a múltiplas e assimétricas pressões institucionais, as quais de alguma forma influenciam suas decisões em várias formas. Portanto, as estruturas institucionais definem “as regras do jogo” (North, 1990) e sinalizam quais escolhas são aceitáveis (Peng, 2002). Com base nisso, o objetivo deste estudo é compreender como as decisões de operações das empresas são influenciadas pelas instituições formais do país hospedeiro na manufatura internacional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória realizada a partir de dois casos extremos de empresas têxteis brasileiras que expandiram suas operações para o Paraguai sob o “regime de Maquila”. Este trabalho é guiado pela visão baseada em instituições de negócios internacionais. O estudo constata que quatro aspectos do ambiente institucional paraguaio (isto é, incerteza ambiental, alta intervenção do governo nos negócios, número inadequado – ou mesmo a falta – de intermediários no mercado e complexidade e ineficiência de mecanismos institucionais) moldam algumas decisões de operações tomadas no país hospedeiro ao longo do tempo. Uma lista de proposições é oferecida e ajuda a sintetizar os resultados. A pesquisa contribui para a literatura em gestão de operações globais ao adicionar uma perspectiva institucional a ela e expandir o campo em direção a um sistema aberto e para além das paredes das fábricas, como sugerido por Spring et al. (2017). O estudo também traz implicações gerenciais (ex.: importância do ambiente institucional para as decisões tomadas pelos gestores) e em políticas públicas (ex.: políticas industriais e competitividade da empresa).engOperations decisionsHost-country institutionsInstitution-based viewInternational manufacturingOffshoringDecisões de operaçõesInstituições do país hospedeiroVisão baseada em instituiçõesManufatura internacionalAdministração de empresasOrganização industrial (Teoria econômica)Empresas multinacionaisTerceirizaçãoProcesso decisórioOperations decisions and the influence of host-country institutions: an exploratory study under the Paraguayan 'Maquila regime'info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Institucional do FGV (FGV Repositório Digital)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVTEXT20190322.

When managing international manufacturing operations, firms are expected to make choices and face trade-offs. They operate within host-country institutional frameworks and are exposed to multiple and asymmetric institutional pressures, which somehow influence their decisions in multiple ways. Therefore, institutional frameworks set “the rules of the game” (North, 1990) and signal which choices are acceptable (Peng, 2002). Based on that, the purpose of this study is to comprehend how companies’ operations decisions are influenced by host-country formal institutions in international manufacturing. This is an exploratory research about two extreme cases of Brazilian textile-apparel companies that expanded their operations to Paraguay under the “Maquila regime”. It is guided by the institution-based view of international business. The study finds that four aspects of the Paraguayan institutional environment (i.e. environment uncertainty, high intervention of the government in business, inadequate number – or even lack – of market intermediaries and complexity and inefficiency of institutional mechanisms) shaped some operations decisions taken in the host country over time. A list of propositions is thus offered and help to synthetize the findings. The research contributes to the literature on global operations management by adding an institutional perspective to it and expanding the field towards an open system and beyond the factories’ walls, as suggested by Spring et al. (2017). It also brings elements for managerial (e.g. importance of the institutional environment for decisions taken by managers) and public policy (e.g. industrial policies and firm competitiveness) implications. |
