Do multinationals really prefer to enter culturally distant countries through greenfields rather than through acquisitions? The role of parent experience and subsidiary autonomy (2007, methodology): “Following prior studies (Harzing, 2002; Larimo, 2003), we measured an MNE’s level of diversification through the log of the number of 4-digit BIK codes in which it operated according to the REACH database.”
Do We Need to Distance Ourselves from the Distance Concept? Why Home and Host Country Context Might Matter More Than (Cultural) Distance (2015, background): “Of these, one features only Scandinavian home countries (Larimo 2003), which have virtually identical scores on Hofstede’s dimensions, with host countries including both culturally close Western countries and culturally distant Asian countries.”
Factors affecting perceptions of the choice between acquisition and greenfield entry: The case of Western FDI in an emerging market (2008, background): “Larimo (2003) examined the entry mode of Nordic firms and found a significant relationship between firm size and entry mode of Finnish firms, but not in the case of Danish, Norwegian or Swedish MNEs.”
