Reason for Failure of International Assignments

[abhishreshthaa]

Reason for failure of International Assignment

Career Blockage

Many feel that the home office has forgotten them and that their career has been sidetracked

Culture Shock

Many people who take international assignments cannot adjust to a different cultural environment

Lack of Predeparture Cross-Cultural Training

Only about one-third of MNCs provide any cross-cultural training to expatriates


Overemphasis on Technical Qualifications

The same traits that led to success at home can be disastrous in another country

Getting Rid of a Troublesome Employee

International assignments may seem to be a convenient way of dealing with mangers who are having problems in the home office


Family Problems

The inability or unwillingness of the expatriate’s spouse and children to adapt to life in another country is one of the most important reasons for failure
