A Linguistic-based Measure of Cultural Distance and Its Relationship to Managerial Values

Creative Commons 'BY' version 4.0 license
Abstract

Measuring culture is a central issue in international management research and is traditionally accomplished using indices of cultural values. Herein we present a new linguistic-based measure of cultural distance (based on linguistic genealogical classification) that is both more fundamental and more widely applicable than values surveys.
