Abstract
The mechanisms by which institutional pressures are translated into substantive or symbolic compliance represent a burning issue, notably in global production networks. The objective of this study is to propose a theoretical framework that can help understanding the underlying factors affecting this issue. In this study, we have generated a series of propositions that disentangle the complex links between institutional pressures, field and network characteristics, and institutional compliance. In particular, we provided a network-based explanation to why typical institutional pressures (e.g. social activism, consumer boycotts, government regulation or voluntary standards and codes of conduct) may be ineffective to drive substantive compliance in issue fields.
