This paper develops a model of the relationship between staffing patterns and firm performance in international firms. According to the logic of transaction cost economics, staffing patterns that reduce cultural frictions and risk can help the firm to gain competitive advantage and improve performance. The implications of various staffing patterns for international firm performance depend on the underlying basis for competitive advantage, and on the type of international strategy pursued.
