International Management as Management of Diversity: Reconceptualizing Distance as Diversity
指出国际商务研究中“距离”概念的理论基础存在缺陷，提出用多样性视角重新审视距离，并构建了区分分离、多样、差异三种多样性类型在制度、组织、个体三个层面的理论框架，帮助学者拓展分析、重审旧问题、探索新议题。
Abstract Despite the importance of distance in international business and management research, the theoretical foundation for the concept and the underlying causal mechanisms are subject to shortcomings. We propose reinvigorating the study of distance through a diversity lens. We draw on research on diversity and develop a theoretical framework that distinguishes types of diversity (separation, variety, and disparity) at three levels (institutional, organizational, and individual). We show how this framework allows scholars to extend their analysis of distance, revisit important questions, and explore new issues. We discuss the theoretical and empirical implications of our diversity lens for the international business and management community.
