Expatriate managers are crucial for multinational enterprises (MNEs) to successfully implement strategies and achieve success in global markets. These leaders are sent to new locations to oversee company initiatives, playing a key role in aligning corporate goals with local market demands. Unfortunately, turnover and incomplete assignments among expatriates continue to pose significant challenges and come with a high cost. These failures can result in lost productivity, increased recruitment expenses, and strained relationships with stakeholders. The prevailing belief is that the success of expatriates depends on choosing individuals with extensive international experience and strong cultural intelligence.
