Abstract

Re-entry of Expatriate and Multinational Development

Abhishek Gupta

The concentrated on the management, and support of international assignments, this research deals with what could be called the post-assignment stage. Re-entry, though, raises issues for both the expatriate and the multinational, some of which may be connected to events that occurred during the international assignment. We treat this stage as part of the international assignment. We examine the process of re-entry or repatriation, job-related issues, social factors including family factors that affect re-entry and work adjustment, multinational responses to repatriate concerns, return on investment (ROI), and designing a repatriation program.
