Expatriates predeparture training: An investigation into the approach of two German-based MNCs
About this book
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1, 2, Northumbria University (Newcastle Business School), language: English, abstract: Increasing globalisation of business has led to a constant rise in the use of expatriate managers who are sent abroad for temporary assignments. Much of expatriates' cross-cultural contact has, however, not been successful. In the majority of cases the high incidence of expatriates' inability to adapt to foreign cultures originates from the neglect of crosscultural preparation which academics advocate as a means of facilitating this adaptation. A review of expatriates' success rates and of cross-cultural training (CCT) literature is presented. A comparison between theoretic view and practical approach of two German-based multinational companies (MNCs) is drawn. It is determined that, given that cross-cultural training is regarded as very effective throughout extant literature, the MNCs in the case under consideration could improve their expatriates' cross-cultural preparation.
