Institutional distance impacts the relative attractiveness of country markets, trade-offs among foreign market entry strategies, the management of subsidiaries abroad, and ultimately, firm performance.(Bae and Solamon 2010) Institutional distance is a measure of cross-country differences (Kostova & Zaheer, 1999) and refers to "the extent of similarity or dissimilarity between the regulatory, cognitive, and normative institutions of two countries" (Xu & Shenkar, 2002, p. 608).
