“…Other studies have sought to extend our understanding of the dynamics of co-evolution between organizations (micro) and institutions (macro) (Child et al, 2012(Child et al, , 2013Dieleman & Sachs, 2008;Rodrigues & Child, 2003) and between industries (meso) and institutions (Ahlstrom & Bruton, 2010;Breznitz, 2007;Flier et al, 2003;Funk, 2009;Hoffman, 1999;Jain & Sharma, 2013;Murmann, 2013). Both approaches appreciate the value of environments, historical legacies, institutional contexts of countries in shaping organizations' trajectories, and their structural evolution over time (Djelic & Ainamo, 1999).…”

“…Even though most co-evolutionary studies have focused on individual firms and how they relate to their meso (industry) and macro (institutional) environments, some recent co-evolution studies have focused on the industry level (Breznitz, 2007;Funk, 2009;Murmann, 2013). These studies have sought to clarify how the interaction between government and industry over time can affect industry outcomes and explain government policy effectiveness -or, in the case of Murmann's study (2013), causal mechanisms that drive co-evolution.…”

This study examines the evolution of the automotive industry in Brazil and its key drivers. We argue that the rules of the game -industry policies -are an outcome of exchanges between the host government and industry. These arise from changes in economic and political environments and interdependence between industry and the country's economy. To this end, we draw upon literature on institutions and co-evolution to understand the industry footprint over a 50-year period, as well as its relationship with changes in government policies. This study generates new insights on institutional and co-evolution political perspectives by showing that the rules of the game are not only the making of the government, but are also the result of interdependencies between industry and government.

Abstract:The success of Silicon Valley as a hub for rapid-innovation growth has motivated policy-makers around the world to initiate policies trying to mimic it. These policy initiatives raise the question of whether globalisation should encourage innovation policy-makers to aim for institutional convergence and close imitation, or for institutional hybridisation and local experimentation. This paper explores this question by focusing on venture capital creation policy. Using two national cases, Israel and Taiwan, we show that policy effectiveness was not the result of simple imitation. Instead, policy performance is determined by degree of fit with local financial conditions and the position of the local ICT industry within global production networks. We then consider the implications of our study for understanding the development of national VC industries and the industries they fund with the primary message being that there is no singular model for venture capital market development. Instead, policy-makers need to understand the local context with its assets and liabilities. Of particular importance are local financing conditions, firm capabilities, and the existing position of local firms within the global production networks of the ICT industry.2
