“…A strong positive correlation was established between the CPI value and people's sharing values such as risk and uncertainty aversion, masculinity, and power distance (Husted, 1999). The opposite (corruption deterring) effect was revealed for such values as social trust and respect for others, while individualism and leniency turn out to be pro-cor-ruption factors (Mornah, Macdermott, 2018). Correlation between the level of corruption and cultural norms is manifested not only at the macro-level, but also for individuals and enterprises (Agyei-Mensah, Buertey, 2019; Barr, Serra, 2010).…”

“…First, other corruption measures can be applied, at least, as robustness tests. Recently, scholars have used Corruption Index published by World Governance (Ozili, 2019; Mornah and Macdermott, 2018; Jiménez et al , 2017) and by International Country Risk Guide (Mukherjee, 2018). Further, some researchers have applied cultural distance measures as additional control variables.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationship between cultural distances between countries and their scores in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), which is the most commonly used measure of corruption in international business (IB) research. Design/methodology/approach The authors applied fixed-effect (generalized least squares) statistical modeling technique to analyze 1,580 year-country observations. Findings The authors found that the CPI score is determined to a large extent by cultural distances between countries, specifically the distance to the USA and to Denmark. Research limitations/implications CPI is often used as a sole measure of state-level corruption in IB research. The results show that the measure is significantly influenced by cultural differences and hence it should be applied with great caution, preferably augmented with other measures. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to look at cultural distances as determinants of CPI score. The authors empirically test whether the CPI is culturally biased.

“…In order to seek opportunities outside their home environment, firms need knowledge about the business environment of the foreign country. However, the internationalization process involves uncertainties and risks related to the cultural and business environment of the foreign country (Mornah and Macdermott 2018). Therefore, lack of knowledge about the foreign country's cultural, political, social, and economic complexities can increase the risks and uncertainties for firms seeking to internationalize (Johanson and Vahlne 2017; Ghemawat 2003; Krishna Erramilli and Derrick 1995; Hernandez 2014; Johanson and Vahlne 2017; Ghemawat 2001; Porter 1985).…”

This paper explores how migrant density and diversity influence international franchising through a knowledge‐based perspective. Using data from the World Franchise Network and U.N. immigration statistics from 1993 to 2013, the study finds that higher migrant density positively impacts international franchising activities, suggesting that a substantial presence of migrants facilitates knowledge transfer and network benefits. Conversely, migrant diversity tends to have a negative effect, indicating potential challenges in harmonizing diverse knowledge bases. However, this diversity can also enhance the positive impact of migrant density on franchising, as it enriches the cultural and knowledge pool. These findings suggest that firms can leverage migrant communities for international franchising success by tapping into their networks and expertise, and that immigration policies could be tailored to support this dynamic. Managers should consider engaging with migrants to navigate cultural nuances and market entry barriers in foreign territories.
