Purpose–This paper aims to theorize how importation, aform of international practice transfers in which firms adopt practices developed by foreign organizations, is fundamentally problematic and thus gives rise to distinctive difficulty. Design/methodology/approach–Conceptual study. Findings–Due to importation’s nature as cross-national and inter-organizational transfer, adopters tend to lack perception of cultural misfit between the foreign practice and the adopting organization. We develop aframework for the consequences of such bounded perception. |
