According to the institution-based view, the success and failure of firms are enabled and constrained by institutions. Institutions refer to the formal and informal rules of the game. Doing business around the globe requires intimate knowledge about both formal rules and informal rules that govern competition in various countries as an institutional framework.
Formal institutions include laws, regulations, and rules. For example, Hong Kong's laws treat domestic firms and international firms equally. Informal institutions, such as cultures, ethics, and norms also play an important role in shaping the success and failure of firms around the globe. For example, individualistic societies, such as Australia, Britain, and the United States, tend to have a relatively higher level of entrepreneurship as reflected in the high number of business start-ups. This is because the act of founding a new firm is an accepted practice in individualistic societies.
The resource-based view answers this drawback by focusing on a firm’s internal resources and capabilities.
Foreign firms have to overcome a liability of foreignness.

Globalization is never complete. Most measures of market integration still fall short of pointing to a single, globally integrated market. In other words, what we have is semiglobalization, which is more complex than extremes of total isolation or total globalization. Semiglobalization calls for more than one way of strategizing around the globe, and there is no one right strategy, resulting in a wide variety of experimentations.
17
Semiglobalization Strategies
Total isolation - Suggests localization
Strategy that treats each country as a unique market
Expensive
Total globalization - Leads to standardization
Strategy of treating the entire world as one market
