Paths to foreign markets: Does distance to market affect firm internationalisation? (2007, background): “Although Hofstede’s work is not without its critics (Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006; Shenkar, 2001), few other cultural theories have been subjected to similarly widespread levels of testing (Nakata & Sivakumar, 2001).”
Breaking Through the Cultural Clutter: A Comparative Assessment of Multiple Cultural and Institutional Frameworks (2008, background): “In examinations of Dutch (Drogendijk and Slangen, 2006) and Australian (Ng et al., 2007) firms, a Schwartz-based CD measure had stronger explanatory power than the traditional Hofstede version. In studies of Japanese firms, Gaur et al. (2006) and Xu et al.”
Cultural differences and capability transfer in cross-border acquisitions: the mediating roles of capability complementarity, absorptive capacity, and social integration (2007, background): “such as the use of cultural distance as a composite variable (for a critique see Shenkar, 2001; Dow and Karunaratna, 2006; Drogendijk and Slangen, 2006).”
Cultural distance, political risk, or governance quality? Towards a more accurate conceptualization and measurement of external uncertainty in foreign entry mode research (2009, unknown): “Like those of prior studies (Barkema et al., 1997; Barkema & Vermeulen, 1998; Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006; Kogut & Singh, 1988), our sample consists of investments by both manufacturing and service MNEs.”
The motives and performance of cross-border acquirers from emerging economies: Comparison between Chinese and Indian firms (2013, background): “Although other measures of cultural distance have been suggested (Barkema, et al., 1996; Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006; Park & Ungson, 1997; Ronen & Shenkar, 1985; Schwartz, 1994; Shenkar, 2001), Drogendijk and Slangen (2006) show that “it may be premature to dismiss Hofstede’s work as outdated or as…”
Towards a more balanced treatment of culture in international business studies: The need for positive cross-cultural scholarship (2014, methodology): “While there are various ways to measure cultural distance (see Berry, Guillén, & Zhou, 2010; Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006), by far the most commonly used measure is the Kogut and Singh (1988) index (KS index), a composite measure of Hofstede’s dimensions of national cultures.”
An institutional approach to cross-national distance (2010, background): “Some empirical studies have shown the validity of Schwartz’s cultural values (Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006).”
Distance and Perceptions of Risk in Internationalization Decisions (2015, background): “Cultural distance refers to the extent to which shared norms and values in one country differ from those in another (Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006).”
Do cross-border acquisitions create value? Evidence from overseas acquisitions by Chinese firms (2016, background): “(Barkema, Shenkar, Vermuelen, & Bell, 1997; Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006; Lee et al., 2008; but also see Shenkar, 2012 for limitations of this approach).”
Challenging the Conceptualization and Measurement of Distance and International Experience in Entry Mode Choice Research (2009, background): “…Bridson 2008; Kim and Hwang 1992), a larger set of studies have applied it to related psychic distance issues (e.g., Boyacigiller 1990; Dichtl, Koeglmayr, and Mueller 1990; Dow 2000; Drogendijk and Slangen 2006; Ellis 2008; Evans and Mavondo 2002; Håkanson and Ambos 2007; Sousa and Bradley 2006).”
