“…Institutional theory has been widely applied to explain the adoption of organizational practices among firms (e.g., Alexander, ; Fini & Toschi, ; Gallego‐Alvarez, Ortas, Vicente‐Villardón, & Álvarez Etxeberria, ; Geels, ; Thatcher, Foster, & Zhu, ). This theory argues that organizations are not isolated individual organizations, and their behavior is determined by norms, structures, constraints, and expectations by relevant audiences (Scott, ).…”

This study investigates the role of institutional pressures in corporate environmental responsibility (CER) by testing the interacting effects among cognitive, regulative, and normative pressures at cross levels. Specifically, this research decomposes the cognitive dimension of CER into perceived environmental benefit and perceived ethical obligation to differentiate their mechanisms. The sample is obtained from 212 firms within 34 industrial clusters. Results of two-level regression modeling confirm that regulative and normative pressures play different roles in the positive effects of perceived environmental benefit and perceived ethical obligation on CER. Regulative pressure attenuates the effect of perceived environmental benefit and amplifies the effect of perceived ethical obligation. Meanwhile, normative pressure attenuates the effect of perceived ethical obligation. These findings suggest that heterogeneous interaction effects may reduce the efficiency of institutional pressures during the initial stage of CER diffusion. Implications for future research and policies are discussed.

“…Hofstede () argues that individualists engage with collective structures based on calculation, whereas collectivists act more according to their morals: They tend to feel that they should “behave in the prescribed way” (Chen, Peng, & Saparito, ). Differences in relational risk perception are therefore exacerbated by wider discrepancies in I–C values (Alexander, ), and this can make it difficult to define the appropriate control provisions. Another example concerns differences in uncertainty avoidance.…”

“…Three dimensions (assertiveness, humane orientation, and in‐group collectivism) more strongly influence contracts and their content when the partners are culturally distant. This type of distance reflects different behaviors, roles, and obligations within groups and organizations, corresponding to normative cultural aspects (Alexander, ). Normative distance refers to differences in desirable goals and the appropriate means of attaining them (Kostova & Zaheer, ; Xu & Shenkar, ).…”

“…Uncertainty avoidance distance (i.e., the cognitive dimension; Alexander, ) also affects contractual clauses differently. Cognitive distance refers to differences in actors' internal representations of the environment (Xu & Shenkar, ): When the partners have very different attitudes toward risk, the contracts contain fewer clauses for collaborative scope (β = −2.333, p < .01) and more for enforcement (β = 2.682, p < .01).…”

Formal contracts are designed to manage the moral hazard issues and inherent risks that come with relationships between organizations. These contracts play an important role in nonequity international alliances, where greater cultural distance between the partners gives rise to more uncertainty in the relationship. At the same time, the contract is the outcome of a negotiation process, and this process is affected by the cultural distance between the partners. This article addresses whether cultural distance affects contract design and content. Rather than test an established model, we use an inductive approach to conduct a detailed empirical analysis of 135 two-party international research-and-development contracts for clinical development in the biopharmaceutical industry. The results show that cultural distance wields complex effects on the contract and its content. They also indicate that a contract will be less detailed-with fewer monitoring clauses and a narrower definition of the collaborative scope-when the partnering firms operate in highly distant national cultures.
