Multinational Enterprises and Sustainability: Challenges and Solutions

This dissertation presents three chapters that offer complementary insights about the relationship between MNEs and sustainability, the challenges involved across different institutional contexts, and the solutions MNEs may design to address these. The dissertation is organized as follows: 1. Chapter I: “Multinational enterprises and global supply chain sustainability: A multilevel framework and research agenda”. 2. Chapter II: “Home country uncertainty and multinational enterprises’ sustainability performance”. 3. Chapter III: “Institutional work and the transfer of diversity and inclusion practices within a multinational enterprise”. Though the thesis has a strong fil rouge that ties its different parts, each chapter serves as a self-contained and comprehensive essay, driven by the overarching objective of both broadening existing management theories and contributing to the enhancement of management practices.
