The construct of institutional distance through the lens of different institutional perspectives: Review, analysis, and recommendations
回顾并批评了20年来制度距离文献，从三种制度视角（组织制度主义、制度经济学、比较制度主义）分析其概念化、测量、组织结果及解释机制，并通过元分析综合主要发现，指出理论视角、距离与剖面效应、测量等关键模糊点，提出改进建议。
This paper presents a review and critique of the 20-year-old literature on institutional distance, which has greatly proliferated. We start with a discussion of the three institutional perspectives that have served as a theoretical foundation for this construct: organizational institutionalism, institutional economics, and comparative institutionalism. We use this as an organizing framework to describe the different ways in which institutional distance has been conceptualized and measured, and to analyze the most common organizational outcomes that have been linked to institutional distance, as well as the proposed explanatory mechanisms of those effects. We substantiate our qualitative review with a meta-analysis, which synthesizes the main findings in this area of research. Building on our review and previous critical work, we note key ambiguities in the institutional distance literature related to underlying theoretical perspectives and associated mechanisms, distance versus profile effects, and measurement. We conclude with actionable recommendations for improving institutional distance research.
