| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工業管理系 === 100 === Central to this research is to investigate the extent of a firm in engaging anticompetitive behavior due to violations of their intellectual property. Institutional anomie theory is used to provide the theoretical framework on understanding the dynamics of the deviant behavior for firms in several nations. Multilevel approach with the use of hierarchical linear modeling is used in this research to advance and refine the fundamental premises of the institutional anomie theory. Within this context, this research puts forward the firm level main effect of the theory on anticompetitive behavior for firms as well as the moderation effects of the theory towards the extent for firms in engaging anticompetitive behavior due to violations of intellectual property. Results show that anticompetitive behavior inclination arises when firms are experiencing violations to their intellectual property rights. Some national cultures and social institutions moderation predictors of the institutional anomie theory supported this point of view, while others including the main effects provide intriguing insights.
