Institutional Distance and Foreign Subsidiary Performance in Emerging Markets: Moderating Effects of Ownership Strategy and Host-Country Experience (2016, unknown): “…and psychic distance is a positive driver of MNEs’ foreign afﬁliates’ performance in other contexts, such as in the global retail industry (Evans and Mavondo 2002; Evans et al. 2008) and among foreign subsidiaries in speciﬁc emerging market regions such as Central and Eastern Europe (Dikova 2009).”
Challenging the Conceptualization and Measurement of Distance and International Experience in Entry Mode Choice Research (2009, methodology): “Evans, Mavondo, and Bridson (2008) acknowledge this when measuring perceptions of distance, but it has been virtually ignored when distance is measured in terms of the national-level exogenous factors driving those perceptions.”
The Key Role of Managers’ Values in Exporting: Influence on Customer Responsiveness and Export Performance (2010, background): “Firms entering psychologically close markets may also find it difficult to establish a clear basis for differentiation and, as a result, will encounter stronger local competition, which could affect performance negatively (Evans, Mavondo, and Bridson 2008).”
The Internet as an alternative path to internationalization (2013, background): “Psychic distance has been identified as a key factor in firms’ foreign market entry strategies (e.g. Evans et al., 2008).”
