International diversification and firm performance in Mexican firms: A curvilinear relationship? (2006, background): “For example, the international diversification–performance relationship has been amply studied in developed market firms (Qian and Li, 2002) but produced mixed results (Contractor et al., 2003; Thomas and Eden, 2004).”
Regional diversification and firm performance (2008, background): “International diversification provides a mechanism for firms to overcome market imperfections in different countries or regions and thus gain access to different resources (Hitt, Hoskisson, & Kim, 1997; Morck & Yeung, 1991; Thomas & Eden, 2004).”

Does the regional nature of multinationals affect the multinationality and performance relationship (2010, background): “Likewise, Thomas and Eden (2004) argue that accounting performance represents short-run performance while financial performance represents long-run expectedmarket performance.”
Influence of the capacities of top management on the internationalization of SMEs (2009, background): “However, the conclusions drawn have been mixed (Contractor, Kundu, and Hsu 2003 ; Thomas and Eden 2004 ).”
