With the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) as a starting point, this presentation discusses what happens when a MNC from one market economy overtake enterprises in another market economy. When a MNC originated from a Liberal Market Economy (LME - e.g. UK) operates in LME’s institutional structure (e.g. South Africa) we have a situation with relatively limited potential for conflicts (see Table 1). The MNC operates in a situation where there is a limited tradition for listening to employees as a collective.
