Resumo

The institution-based view of strategy has emerged as a leading perspective in Strategic Management. It incorporates the institutional dimension when offering relevant answers to the fundamental questions of strategy. One of the challenges of this perspective is to develop stronger measures of institutions (Peng et al., 2009). This paper seeks to contribute in this direction by offering a detailed analysis of the main measures of institutions that previous works in Strategic Management have used. Our aim is to offer a guide that will help researchers to decide how they should incorporate the institutional dimension into their empirical work.
