Cultural distance, political risk, or governance quality? Towards a more accurate conceptualization and measurement of external uncertainty in foreign entry mode research (2009, unknown): “Many entry mode studies have modeled this uncertainty as the cultural distance between an MNE’s home country and the target country (for a review, see Harzing, 2003), i.e. as the extent to which the shared norms and values in the home and target country differ from one another (Hofstede, 1980;…”

A quarter century of Culture's Consequences: a review of empirical research incorporating Hofstede's cultural values framework (2006, methodology): “…all studies used Kogut and Singh’s (1988) index, which comprises the differences between a given (subsidiary) country’s score on a cultural value and a (home) country’s score, with differences summed across Hofstede’s cultural values (see Shenkar (2001) and Harzing (2004) for recent critiques)].”

Do We Need to Distance Ourselves from the Distance Concept? Why Home and Host Country Context Might Matter More Than (Cultural) Distance (2015, background): “In addition, we also included all articles that referred to an earlier article exploring the role of cultural distance in entry mode research (Harzing 2003), which included some articles published prior to the Kogut and Singh (1988) article.”
The Impact of Institutional and Human Resource Distance on International Entry Strategies (2009, background): “, 2005) shows that on average these studies do not generate a statistically significant effect, perhaps because of conceptual problems with psychic distance (Harzing, 2003; Shenkar, 2001).”
