<p>Este artículo presenta un modelo del comportamiento de los investigadores en administración para comprobar sus preferencias en los Modos de Producción de Conocimiento. Se aplica el análisis de panel de datos a la producción de 240 investigadores en el periodo 2006-2011, y se encuentra que presentan diferencias significativas en tres orientaciones estratégicas (interdisciplinaridad, aplicación e interacción externa) dependiendo de la disciplina y la región en la cual trabajan. Los hallazgos muestran que los investigadores en Management se orientan más a la interdisciplinaridad y la interacción externa que los de Finanzas, estos últimos más a la aplicación, y los Latinoamericanos hacen investigación más orientada a la aplicación que los Anglosajones. Se dejan abiertas nuevas perspectivas para el estudio del problema.</p>
The relation between the cultural distance and the firm’s entry modes to foreign countries has received considerable research attention, and studies have shown the role of experience in this relation. However, previous research has only studied direct experience and neglected the study of vicarious experience. Using a sample of 355 foreign companies that entered Colombia (2007–2017), this research reviews the effect of cultural distance on entry mode choice (e.g., Acquisition vs. Greenfield) and examines the moderating role of vicarious experience in this relationship. The study concludes that the cultural distance positively affects the entry probability by acquisition, and the vicarious experience negatively affects this relationship in four cultural dimensions. If firms have vicarious experience, the effect of cultural distance on the acquisition probability is less and positively influences the entry probability by Greenfield when the cultural distance is in power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, and long-term orientation. Nevertheless, vicarious experience has the opposite effect when considering the masculinity dimension. Consequently, we highlight the importance of considering vicarious experience as a different variable of direct experience and the individual effects of cultural distance dimensions for cross-cultural studies in management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
