- Abstract
- We investigate the effects of four macro variables (trust and cultural, institutional, and geographical distances) on the propensity to form a strategic alliance. From a set of 26 countries, we construct 315 country pairs over the period from 1996 to 2004. We collect our data from the SDC platinum database that identifies how many cross-border strategic alliances occurred between the firms in the country pairs in each year. For each country pair we construct measurements for the macro variables. Then in a multivariate framework, we examine their effects on the number of cross-border alliances. We find that the cross-border alliances are more likely to occur between firms from countries that have higher trust and shorter cultural and geographical distances-the institutional distance does not have an effect. Additional tests show that greater trust lessens the adverse effect of geographical distance, but a shorter cultural distance does not. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
