Abstract

This chapter summarises what we know about expatriate and the management of expatriates. Indeed it goes at little wider to look at a variety of forms of international mobility that multinational enterprises can use. It examines particularly how such enterprises can manage their expatriates better and how they can control the costs whilst still getting the desired return on their investment.

Critically, the requirement for physical (as opposed to psychological) mobility excludes employees whose roles do not require short- or long- term geographical relocation and/or movement such as virtual expatriates, global virtual team members, global domestics, domestic international managers, and global managers with worldwide coordination responsibilities who do not engage in business travel [8, 74].
