| Abstract: | The relationship of internationalization with firm performance continues to be a major focus of corporate strategy. The aim of this study is to contribute to the topic by empirically investigating the influence of the country of origin effect on the internationalization and performance relationship. The findings show strong support for the underlying notion that a MNC's home country impacts the internationalization-performance relationship. Particularly, a positive linear relationship was found between internationalization and performance in countries with relatively small economies and which have extensive trade in their economy, while an inverted U-shaped relationship was found in countries with larger economies which have relatively moderate trade in their economy. |
