Abstract

This reading begins by considering the role of international assignees in multinational enterprises. The challenges to traditional models of global mobility which relied on longer-term assignments are then outlined. Emerging alternatives to global mobility are then introduced, followed by a consideration of the HR challenges and issues emerging from a portfolio approach to global mobility. We conclude with some directions for further study.
