The Kogut and Singh (J Int Bus Stud 19(3):411–432, 1988) index is the most widely used construct to measure cultural distance in international business and management research. We show that this index is incorrectly specified and captures the squared cultural distance. This inaccuracy is problematic because it means that the empirical findings on the effects of cultural distance presented in different strands of international business research are likely to be misleading. We specify the correct form of the distance measure based on the Euclidean distance formula and demonstrate the implications of using the incorrectly specified Kogut and Singh (1988) index.

为什么我们应该停止使用Kogut和Singh指数

Kogut and Singh(J Int Bus Stud 19(3):411–432,1988)索引是在国际商务和管理研究中用于衡量文化距离的最广泛使用的结构。我们显示此索引指定不正确,并捕获平方的文化距离。这种不精确性是有问题的,因为这意味着在国际商务研究的不同阶段所呈现的关于文化距离影响的实证研究结果可能会产生误导。我们根据欧几里得距离公式指定距离度量的正确形式,并说明使用错误指定的Kogut和Singh(1988)索引的含义。
