While the number of corporate expat assignments is growing steadily, these assignments are expensive and fail all too often for avoidable reasons. Many expats move with minimal preparation, have unrealistic expectations, and are left with insufficient resources to deal with the practical and emotional implications of a move. The result: failed moves, stressed families, and damaged careers. This book addresses a growing need to prepare people for making successful moves Adjusting to a new environment and culture, immersing oneself into a new life - both professional and private - navigating culture shock, defining and maintaining a sense of home, these are all big challenges.
