Testing metric equivalence in cross-national strategy research: an empirical test across the United States and Japan
提出了一个评估跨国家战略研究中度量等价性的概念与分析框架,并通过美国和日本的数据集检验了多个战略构念的测量模型等价性,发现部分构念具有强等价性,部分需要重新定义。
We propose a conceptual and analytical framework for assessing metric equivalence in cross-national strategy research. We illustrate this framework by testing the equivalence of measurement models for a set of strategy constructs across the United States and Japan. Results of a two-group LISREL analysis conducted on a data set of 447 interorganizational relationships reveal that some constructs have strong cross-national equivalence, while others need content respecification or reconceptualization. We discuss implications and offer suggestions about how to conduct empirical strategy research in cross-national settings. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
