Distance as Diversity: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

Jonathan P. Doh

Journal of Management Studies, 2021, vol. 58, issue 6, 1640-1643

Abstract: Distance is a fundamental construct in International Business/International Management (IB/IM) research. It also has practical implications for the conduct of business across borders. In this introduction to this Point‐Counter‐Point exchange, I comment on the two perspectives on the role of diversity as a complement or substitute for the distance construct. I argue that this discussion has ramifications for not just the distance construct, but broader assumptions and tenets in the IB/IM literature.
