| contents | Managing expatriates: analyzing the experience of an internationalized Brazilian Company Bernardo Meyer Victor Meyer Jr. Kamila Vieira da Silva Larissa Mallmann Fernandes Almeida Brandão Administración y Contabilidad Management Expatriates Internationalization The management of expatriate employees is an important topic in the field of international business. Most of the studies on expatriation management are based on the experience of North American and Western European corporations. Few studies focus on corporations from developing countries. The purpose of this study was to examine how expatriates were managed by a Brazilian multinational corporation in relation to the cultural dimension. This is a single case study based on qualitative research. The focus was a Brazilian telecommunications company operating in China. The research investigated the preparedness of expatriates prior to departure and the kinds of difficulties they faced in daily life abroad. The analysis revealed that the lack of preparation of expatriates before departure was an important barrier to overcome in order to achieve better performance. The findings indicated that psychic distance was the key factor responsible for major problems facing expatriate workers. 2016 artículo científico 1516-3865 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=273548892011 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2735 Revista de Ciências da Administração application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Revista de Ciências da Administração (Brasil) Num.46 Vol.18 |
