Preparation Of Expatriates For Global Assignments: Revisited

Abstract

Two contributing factors generated my interest in the above topic: 1) Within the past two to three decades, expatriate opportunities for individuals around the world have rapidly increased.  This growth has created a new frontier of  expatriate human resource issues that many Multinational Corporations (MNC’s) have had difficulty resolving; 2)   With the major emphasis placed upon business schools to educate students on global issues, how have they incorporated into the curricula what  we have learned about expatriate and repatriate successes and failures?
