    It is very interesting how this video shares the risk of hiring an expatriate manager but also makes sure to pick out the benefits of hiring the expatriate manager.

    As a business student I find this video very informative and entertaining. Before watching this video I didn't know anything about expatriate management but, after I did I feel like I learned a lot. The instructor explains the pros and cons of expatriate management which is very important to know both sides of the topic. This video could help someone make the decision of leaving the country or not.

    Before watching this video, I had no idea was expatriate management. But breaking it down by four core values and a certain mindset helped me understand it a lot better. The compensation portion of the video was also very interesting to me.

    Prior to this video, I did not have knowledge of expatriate management. This video explained it and the core characteristics of expatriates very well. Where there are some characteristics I identify with that would make me a candidate, the number reason some fail would hit very close to home for me…that is, I would miss my family!

    This video gave a lot of insight on expatriate management. It was surprising to see that spouse/family issues adjusting was the main reason so many of these managers fail. The culture shock of moving to a new country for business is one I think so many overlook or don’t take seriously when considering these jobs. I’ve also never thought about the compensation differences that might be needed for these positions as far as premiums and taxes. I appreciate the way it was all broken down in this video to help truly see the extensive behind the scenes work that goes on when hiring expatriate managers

    This video directly conveys the important attributes that are sought in an expatriate. How often does expatriate management occur within a multinational corporation over management from individuals in their host nation? It is interesting that there is implicit and complicit cognitive bias for expatriate management, and this video relays that concept well.

    I never knew what an expatriate was in the first place so this video definitely helped me understand what that was. Also, this video really informed me of the characteristics someone has to have to be able to do that job because it is not easy.

    This video was very informative of the many factors that come into play when selecting an expatriate manager. It can be very difficult to select the proper candidate for these jobs because of the risk of turn-over. It is justifiable that self-orientation is a core characteristic of an expatriate manager. One of the major causes of turn-over in these assignments is family issues. A manager in this position would need to have a very high self-esteem in order to be successful in this role, because it is likely that it could cause strain on the individual's family.

    As I listen to this video makes me understand why my uncle, who is an ambassador, like to be expatriated to foreign countries; I always wondered why he wanted to go because, with this video, I understood that the expatriate can be paid with the currency of the country where the person is sent. There are a lot of benefits for expatriate workers. Those benefits can motivate people to work elsewhere outside of their home country. Great information about expatriate management.

    This is really eye opening to people who may want to move out of the country to find work. It shows the potential difficulties you may face as well as the characteristics you should possess or try to improve on before deciding to leave your home country.

    I found this video informative, especially since I'm interested in working internationally. I found it interesting the different types of training needed when someone becomes an expatriate, as well as the family of the expatriate. It seems like being an expatriate is difficult if you're not prepared, but this video was able to show me a snippet of what to expect if I get the opportunity to work in another country.

    I found this video to be very interesting and informational and I learned a lot about expatriate management. I have always wanted to live in a different country to work but I had never thought about the requirements that might come with that. I found it very interesting that you would need to have good self-orientation, others' orientation, perceptual ability, and cultural toughness. After watching this video I have a lot more respect for expatriates because it does not sounds like it is an easy thing to be.

    @isabellewandres6915 10 місяців тому

    Before watching this video I was unaware of what expatriate management was. I think this is very valuable information to have if you have the desired to work internationally. It also shows that it is important to learn about the cultural differences if you want to be a successful expatriate. I think this would be a great learning experience because you would have the opportunity to learn how different cultures work.

    This video tells you important stuff about people working in different countries. It talks about what makes them good at their job, why training is crucial, how to judge their performance, and what they should get paid. If you're dealing with a global team, it's a must-watch to avoid problems and keep everyone happy.

    Prior to this video, I was unfamiliar with the concept of "expatriate management". The Performance Appraisal section was interesting to me, as it made sense how one would have bias based on their own expectations or even lack of experience towards expatriate managers. The compensation package section made it easy to understand how exactly an expatriate would get compensated in order for them to live comfortably.

  • @logggggs385
    @logggggs385 10 місяців тому

    I found the information about expatriate compensation particularly informative. Considering the cost of expatriation makes the ethnocentric strategy of management much less appealing. Though having a manager that works well integrating into a foreign culture is a valuable asset.

  • @turnerprewitt4282
    @turnerprewitt4282 Рік тому

    What I found interesting about Expatriate management was the core characteristics required for someone to become a good expatriate. I believe that it is one of those things that, to be a good expatriate, one needs to have 4/4 qualities to be successful. I think only have 2-3 out of the 4 qualities would be result in a failure to adapt or be successful in the business being conducted. Which is why I think that aspect contributes to the extra compensations for expatriates, alongside the potential separation of family members for prolonged periods.

  • @christiancoke7072
    @christiancoke7072 Рік тому

    I appreciate the emphasis on the necessity of being well-rounded in all areas of self-orientation, others-orientation, perceptual ability, and cultural toughness when it comes to being successful as an expatriate. While we may not have strengths in each of these areas when evaluating whether to be an expatriate or not, it's helpful to analyze which areas are our strengths and our weaknesses so we can best prepare before hand and train and grow in our weaknesses before simply going to be an expatriate.

  • @valerieholmes980
    @valerieholmes980 Рік тому

    Being an expatriate is challenging as well as rewarding for those who are able to adapt to another country's culture. I feel like the benefits outweigh the risks or challenges of the expatriate. It is not for everyone but for those select few it would be an exciting adventure.

  • @khadejahjones1473
    @khadejahjones1473 2 роки тому

    I found this video informational and helpful for someone who dreams of entering the international business. Something I found interesting is how many companies will pay for the expatriate's child(ren) education. At first, that sounded sort of odd to me, but when one thinks about the locations of the expatriate's family is placed, it makes sense how the public school education may not the be best or less than the standards the child(ren) is used to in their home country. Another thing I didn't know is how the expatriate is usually required to pay taxes for both home and host country. Overall, this is an excellent video and gives insight into expatriate management.

    As someone who wants to travel the world, I had always figured it would have been at my own personal expense. However, this video informed me that people like myself could work as expatriates for a company and accomplish the same thing. I really enjoyed this video because it highlighted how someone becomes an expatriate, what causes expatriates to struggle, the pay scale and compensation structure of being an expatriate, and some of the things I need to be conscious of if I ever work with an expatriate.

  • @stephengibel5418
    @stephengibel5418 10 місяців тому

    I learned a lot about expatriates and how much training is involved. I didn’t realize how much training his dependent on the company rather than the expatriate. Being an expatriate seems like a big investment and risk for both the company and expatriate, because the expatriate has to uproot their lives, and the company has to manage their expatriates from afar.

  • @josebarron5691
    @josebarron5691 2 роки тому

    In this video, I found it really informative how much training is provided to an expatriate manager to avoid as much cultural shock as possible. it amazes me that a company is willing to provide an expatriate manager a whole community so they can feel welcomed in their new post. Also, it was interesting to understand the rewards expatriate managers receive for the sacrifices they are willing to make. The core characteristics required to be an expatriate managers gives me an idea of the type of attitude one must have to excel in this role.

    I did not realize that an expatriate is someone who lives outside of their native country while an Immigrant is someone who comes to live permanently in another country. While both could apply to anyone that lives outside their 'native' country, the difference is that being an expatriates carries a more positive connotation than it does to be an immigrant.

    The subject matter of “Expatriates” was brought up recently in one of my other classes as a potential career. After learning, from a career perspective, about being an expatriate in marketing overseas; this video provides sound insight into the strategic and complex subject of their management. Also, this provides anyone interested in international business an in depth understanding of expatriates.

    I think it was beneficial to learn the strengths of hiring an expatriate and how helpful they can be to an international company. It was also interesting to learn the issues someone might have in the situation and how the company will put effort into the family being comfortable to make the transition more successful since family plays a large role in these employees succeeding in their new position.

    Before watching this video I had never heard of expatriate management. However, the concept makes a lot of sense and is interesting to think about. I began to wonder what all goes into a foreigner working the same job as a local, and most of my questions were answered by the end of the video. This topic was foreign to me, but I now have a good understanding of how firms handle sending people to other countries or locations across the world.

  • @cindythompson4447
    @cindythompson4447 Рік тому

    It's good to know that many corporations include the family in training and support for adapting to foreign culture. These things can considerably reduce an already stressful situation of starting a new job, in a new country. Helping to acclimate the family is a huge weight off the expatriate. It also helps the company entice workers to take the leap of faith to take on a foreign assignment.

  • @jacquelinegonzalez1026
    @jacquelinegonzalez1026 Рік тому

    I never considered the qualifications and core characteristics needed for expatriate. The core characteristics make sense considering you would be moving to a new country, having to make new friends, understand a new language/cultural differences, etc. I also never thought about the extra pay for expatriate managers. I always assumed the new experience and location to be the extra pay but I now understand the extra pay is for compensation for having to learn new languages, going thru training, etc.

  • @brendolynoconnor241
    @brendolynoconnor241 2 роки тому

    Before this video, I hadn't known much that went into expatriate management, so this was very insightful as to what all goes into select an expatriate candidate. I never knew there was extra compensation for expatriates, especially with housing allowances, education allowances, and foreign service premiums. I found this very interesting, especially since it isn't discussed much with companies that could consider employees as expatriate candidates.

  • @zachgulizia628
    @zachgulizia628 2 роки тому

    This video interested me because I work with a few expatriate workers and i hadn't considered all that went into it. I'd assumed that they were treated almost exactly the same and that they would have to do much of the cultural training themselves. There are many more differences than I'd thought. For example, companies often pay more for expatriate workers than domestic workers to make up for the fact that they have to move as well as the fact they may be taxed twice.

  • @ashleyedwards6595
    @ashleyedwards6595 10 місяців тому

    It makes sense that it is hard to get people to transfer to many other countries. Lower wages, housing, and language barriars are huge issues that end up costing many firms lots of money. Many companies have moved facilities to other countries to save money, so I imagine only the most successful companies even make the effort to hire expatriates.

  • @jessicaibarra9331
    @jessicaibarra9331 2 роки тому

    It is interesting to learn that one of the reasons for expatriate failure is the inability of the manager's spouse/family to adjust to a foreign environment. Given this, the importance of cross-culture transition is crucial to the success and job performance of the expatriate. It is excellent to learn that firms have noticed this issue and produced a training guideline that includes families participating in cultural training to ease culture shock.

    Great video. I didn't know how truly difficult it was to find a qualified candidate to serve as an expatriate. I always thought it would be cool to be able to work in a different country, but now I understand why it isn't sometimes. There are some great benefits to it, but I don't know if they outweigh the negatives.

    I will be honest I was not familiar with "Expatriate Management" until watching this video. Training is a major part of becoming an expatriate management. There are many downfalls such as being away from family or your spouse, and trying to adapt to another culture as well. Thats why I believe that training is the most vital part of this process. It is also not easy to learn a different language, I am currently learning Italian for another class of mine. There is the struggle of being able to read and write a language but speaking it, and even trying to learn it quickly must be a difficult task.

    I heard the term "expatriate" for the first time a while ago on a video about workers in Dubai, and I wondered the difference between that term and "immigrant." It's good to learn that expatriate refers to workers temporarily working within a host country. I can only imagine how difficult is is to move from your home country to a foreign one to work (depending on the host country I suppose). Nonetheless, I don't know if I would take the opportunity if I were offered. It would be a tough decision!

    I found it very interesting that there was only a 10-30% pay incentive for those working on foreign countries. Personally, this would be a hard sell for me but I know that this may be more pay for those working from overseas and receiving pay in a country with higher currency value.
