“…This, however, has not been confirmed across all locations (Johnson & Vanetti, 2005). Larger formal institutional distance can, so it is argued here, decrease the impact of standardised marketing strategies.…”

“…Most notably the recently emphasised importance of cities rather than regions or countries in international business (e.g. Johnson & Vanetti, 2005;Beugelsdijk & Mudambi, 2013, Dahms, 2015. From an empirical perspective, however; data collection on country level is already a daunting task for any international business researcher.…”

“…Formal institutional distance between home and host country might hence lead to varying levels of profitability of activities within the network of international hotels. Activities are expected to be located according to their lowest costs of transaction within the international hotel network (Johnson & Vanetti, 2005). The perspective of formal institutional differences might help in explaining the location of activities beyond the non-separability theorem as criticised for hospitality management in general by Brotherton (1999).…”

In recent international hotel strategy literature, institutional differences between home and host country have been mostly neglected. Although concepts such as institutional distance have become more prevalent as analytical tools in the mainstream international business literature, not much of it has so far been adopted in the wider field of international hospitality management. The objective of this article is to propose a conceptual framework that is based on insights from new institutional economics in order to further our understanding of international strategies for hotels. It introduces the concept of institutional distance as a supplement to Yip's popular global strategy framework. This article aims at providing a template for active researchers in the field to embed their empirical contributions within the wider international business literature.
