Professor Hall is widely recognized as a leading expert in comparative institutional analysis and a founder of the capitalism varieties approach (VOC). He was the main editor of varieties of capitalism (Hall and Soskice, 2001b), a very influential book on the topic that has received more than 20,000 quotes from Google Scholar to date. In addition, he was the main author of the theory of the same book (Hall and Soskice, 2001a), who laid the conceptual basis for much of the academic discourse on institutional diversity in the following decades. Inter alia,
- Established the distinction now familiar between the Coordinated Market Economies (CME) and the Liberal Market Economy (LMES); • He identified a set of institutional “spheres” of the economy that determine the specific variety of capitalism of a country;
- He developed multiple mechanisms why institutional convergence was unlikely in a single institutional practice of the best institutional; and
- It was based on the vision of the then novels about organizational forms and economic complementities to argue that different institutional configurations could achieve equivalent levels of economic performance through different institutional comparative advantages, with concomitant implications for strategies at the company level.
Since then, the subsequent work of Professor Hall has extended and prepared in these foundations, for example, in the context of institutional change processes in different varieties of capitalism (Hall and Thelen, 2009). The approach to the varieties of capitalism has been very influential in the field of international business. He has played an outstanding role in the development and extension of the conceptualization and treatment of international institutional diversity in IB (EG, Aguilera and Grøgaard, 2019; Jackson and Deeg, 2008, 2019; Witt, Kabbach de Castro, AMAESHI, MAHROUM, BOHLE AND SAEZ, 2018). Ib Research has also taken advantage of the framework or concepts derived from it to offer accounts of various phenomena, including
- Corporate governance structures (Aguilera and Jackson, 2003),
- Business groups (HU, CUI and Aulakh, 2019),
- Exhaust responses that drive direct foreign investment (Witt and Lewin, 2007),
- Internationalization patterns (Cuervo-Cazurra, Inkpen, Musacchio and Ramaswamy, 2014; Luo and Witt, 2022; Mariotti and Marzano, 2019), and
- Comparative advantages and strategies of the assistant company (Schneider, Schulze-Bentrop and Paunescu, 2010; Witt and Jackson, 2016).
