TL;DR: The authors apply Bhabha's epistemology of mimicry, hybridity and the third space to offer an alternative understanding of the transfer process itself, the nature of the organization within which this process takes place, and the notions of power and agency as they are currently understood in international management studies.

TL;DR: This paper argued that the state-level institutional power structures that participated in the importing of the SM and HR models also took part in the negotiations and struggles that formed their social meanings, the way in which they changed during the move from one context to another, and the fundamental social assumptions that become institutionalized as part of the process of the models' institutionalization.
