✦ Synopsis

In this article we present expatriate management policies and practices of 136 large multinational companies (MNCs) based in four different countries: Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The fi ndings we focus on include staffi ng, selection, training, and success. By analyzing our own results as well as comparing them to previous fi ndings, we examine the changes in expatriate practices over time. In the managerial and research implications sections, we share additional fi ndings and our thoughts about future issues and trends in expatriation.
