Our panel will focus on presenting some of the latest scholarly advances in the fields of institutional change and
emerging market multinational enterprises (EM MNEs). In particular, our expert panelists—Prof. Ruth Aguilera,
Mike Hitt, Bob Hoskisson, and Pasha Mahmood—will present on three understudied issues: (1) comparative
corporate governance and institutional change in EMs; (2) institutional polycentricity and its effect on EM MNEs'
strategies and outcomes; and (3) new multinationals from former emerging economies. Our panel will present
new ways to integrate and extend existing theories such as agency theory, institution-based view, and the
resource-based view of the firm. (For more information, please contact: Elitsa R. Banalieva, Northeastern
