Abstract: Using a sample of 91 firms in four global industries, this study finds evidence of an inverted U-shaped curve between global integration and return on sales. The multiple regression results highlight the benefits of global integration in developing competitive advantage, but also indicate tradeoffs associated with configuring and coordinating international activities by the global firm.
