Research output: Book chapter › Chapter

Abstract

In an influential paper in the international human resource management literature, Kobrin (1988) argued that US multinational enterprises were progressively reducing the number of international assignees in response to a need to reduce costs and due to the high rates of failure of expatriates. A decade later, it seems that this statement may not reflect the current practice of multinational enterprises.
