本研究的目的是在探討企業在從事反競爭行為而侵犯其知識產權的程度。迷亂理論提供了理論框架在國家了解企業的偏差行為的動態。在本研究中使用多層次的方法與使用階層線性模式來促進和改善迷亂理論的基本假設。在此背景下，本研究提出了反競爭行為以及理論對公司在從事反競爭行為因侵犯智慧財產權的程度而影響企業層面的主要作用。結果顯示，反競爭行為的傾向出現時企業會侵犯其智慧財產權。而一些國家的文化和社會的預言者支持迷亂理論這個觀點，同時包括主要作用的人提供了有趣的見解。

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.
