| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project addresses the overarching question of how global and local actors interact in institutional maintenance and change through two studies. The first study, which was presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE), 9-11 July 2022 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, seeks to explain the behavior of multinational and domestic fast food chains as they drove and responded to the veganism trend across different countries. The second study, which was presented Academy of Management (AOM) Organization and Management Theory Division Paper Development Workshop on "Doing Organizational Research Around the World", 8 December 2023 in Singapore, deals with the complex interaction of tradition and innovation in entomophagy, i.e., insects as food. This second study is being divided into two articles - one conceptual and the other empirical, with the latter focusing on framing efforts by insect-serving restaurant owners in Japan.
