• The liability of foreignness in capital markets: Sources and remedies (2011, background): “Similarly, LOF studies have also emphasized the importance of mimicking, or conformity relative to local firms to the performance of foreign subsidiaries (Miller & Eden, 2006).”
• Which country matters? Institutional development and foreign affiliate performance (2008, background): “Welldeveloped market-supporting institutions may also facilitate more new entries into the market (Peng, 2003), which will inevitably drive up the costs of engaging in business activities for foreign affiliates and thus affect their performance (Miller and Eden, 2006).”
• Institutional distance and local isomorphism strategy (2012, methodology): “Scholars note that one way in which foreign firms can reduce their liability of foreignness is by imitating elements of the strategies and business practices of local competitors (Miller & Eden, 2006; Zaheer, 1995).”
• Organizational Forms and Multi-population Dynamics (2014, background): “Unlike intrapopulation density effects, interpopulation density effects are often assumed to be linear (e.g., Hannan and Freeman, 1989; Baum and Oliver, 1991; Ruef, 2004; Dobrev and Kim, 2006; Miller and Eden, 2006).”
• When Is Foreignness an Asset or a Liability? Explaining the Performance Differential Between Foreign and Local Firms (2010, background): “…a means to reconcile the seemingly contradicting findings of studies that show foreign affiliates underperforming local firms (Mezias, 2002; Miller & Eden, 2006; Miller & Parkhe, 2002; Zaheer, 1995; Zaheer & Mosakowski, 1997), those that find the opposite to be the case (Kronborg &…”
• Multinationals and corporate social responsibility in host countries: Does distance matter? (2011, unknown): “Market size, measured as total bank deposits in an MSA in a given year (Miller & Eden, 2006), controls for the importance of a particular geographical market; this variable was log-transformed because of skewness.”
• Institutional Distance and Foreign Subsidiary Performance in Emerging Markets: Moderating Effects of Ownership Strategy and Host-Country Experience (2016, background): “Such liabilities of foreignness (Zaheer 1995) are likely to act as sources of competitive disadvantage to MNEs (Eden and Miller 2004; Miller and Eden 2006).”
• Caught in the crossfire: Dimensions of vulnerability and foreign multinationals' exit from war‐afflicted countries (2017, unknown): “We argue that it is important to assess the vulnerability of MNEs in war zones in the context not only of challenges and downside risk (Miller and Reuer, 1996), but also opportunities and upside potential (Miller and Eden, 2006).”
• The Liabilities of Origin: An Emerging Economy Perspective on the Costs of Doing Business Abroad (2010, unknown): “Since then, a significant stream of literature has emerged in IM that has examined the incidence and consequence of LOF and explored strategies for overcoming LOF (Miller and Eden, 2006; Kostova and Zaheer, 2002; Kronborg and Thomsen, 2009; Mezias, 2002a; Mezias, 2002b; Miller and Parkhe, 2002; Nach”
• Spillovers and competition among foreign and local firms in China (2008, background): “It has examined such firms’ entry mode decisions (Kogut, 1983; Chang, 1995), their interactions with other multinationals (Henisz and Delios, 2001; Chang and Park, 2005; Miller and Eden, 2006), and their ability to cope with the socioeconomic environments of the host countries they enter (Rosenzweig”
• Do Foreign Greenfields Outperform Foreign Acquisitions or Vice Versa? An Institutional Perspective (2008, unknown): “Fifth, we control for the level of competition faced by the focal subsidiary, as fiercer competition may negatively affect a subsidiary’s performance (Miller and Eden, 2006).”
• International experience and FDI location choices of Chinese firms: The moderating effects of home country government support and host country institutions (2014, background): “First, firms operating in foreign countries encounter unfamiliarity and discrimination costs associated with their foreign operations (Miller & Eden, 2006).”
