Abstract
This conceptual paper examines the role of country-of-origin effects in MNCs. It deals with definitional problems and discusses both the sources of the country-of-origin effect, and the mechanisms through which it manifests itself.
The strength of the country-of-origin effect is hypothesized to be moderated by factors related to both the home country and the MNC.
