Resumen
Esta investigación fue desencadenada por un historial alarmante de fracaso de expatriados, es decir, en el que los expatriados no completaron sus asignaciones y regresaron a casa prematuramente. La investigación mostró que se tuvieron en cuenta muy pocos factores al reclutar y seleccionar trabajadores expatriados, factores que contribuyeron a una terminación anticipada de la asignación en el extranjero. Estos factores incluyen inteligencia cultural, preparación, falta de adaptación, barreras del idioma, nostalgia y no poder traer consigo a la familia. Las implicaciones para un éxito futuro de los expatriados serían tener en cuenta dichos factores en todas las etapas preliminares de reclutamiento y selección, antes de enviar trabajadores expatriados en asignaciones en el extranjero.
