With an in-depth case study of Brazil, and a comparative chapter examining Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, this book analyzes the problematic encounter between diffusion of home-office anti-labor practices and evolving national institutional contexts that are quite varied and in some cases enable considerable resistance by unions and/or regulators. Walmart’s “repressive familial” and “anti-union” model is found to generate costs and conflicts that contributed to its unprofitability and ultimate exit from Brazil in 2018. This experience, contrasted with country situations where Walmart’s overall competitive and labor and human resource practices “fit” better with national markets and institutions, underlines the brittle, problematic nature of diffusionist corporate models lacking adaptive capacity to significant cross-national variations across host countries. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Latin America; Labor; Brazil; Walmart; Chile; Argentina; Mexico; Conflictual Cooperation; Labor Relations; gl | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-74672-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-74672-8Series ISSN 2569-1341 Series E-ISSN 2569-1333 | | issn_series | 2569-1341 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
