Аннотация:
Несмотря на растущий академический интерес к концепции организационной легитимности в сфере международного бизнеса, существуют разногласия по поводу ее применения. Наш систематический обзор литературы охватывает исследования легитимности с точки зрения мультинациональных корпораций (МНК) на протяжении последних тридцати лет с момента развития данной концепции. Цель данной работы заключается в систематизации существующего знания об организационной легитимности МНК и их дочерних компаний. Предметом исследования является легитимность МНК. Наш обзор охватывает 72 статьи в высокорейтинговых международных журналах и позволяет классифицировать существующую литературу по различным направлениям исследований, проанализировать эволюционные волны исследований легитимности МНК и обозначить релевантные направления для будущих исследований. В ходе работы авторы приходят к выводу, что с момента появления концепции интерес к ней рос со стороны разных областей менеджмента. К тому же, если в ранних исследованиях преобладало использование институциональной теории, то во вторую волну спектр теоретических рамок был существенно расширен. Кроме того, в последние годы наблюдается рост числа статей, обращающихся к тематике ESG-отчетности и корпоративной социальной ответственности. С точки зрения географического контекста, заметно повышение числа исследований, посвященных развивающимся рынкам и МНК из этих стран. Помимо систематизации знаний, мы вносим вклад в теорию международного бизнеса за счет разработки комплексного теоретического фреймворка, обозревающего предпосылки для приобретения МНК и их дочерними предприятиями легитимности, а также сложности и последствия этого процесса.
