ST_07-01 Expatriate Management

The topic of Expatriate Management usually involves physical international mobility for work purposes by skilled workers or professionals. Although the core of this topic includes internationally assigned business expatriates, it also reflects changes in the corporate world, using various alternative forms of global employment, as well as changes in today's society, where movement of people across national borders is becoming increasingly common. Recent Expatriate Management research also examines, for example, self-initiated expatriates, expatriate academics, short-term transfers, international business travelers, inpatriates, and commuter assignments. Expatriate management as an academic research discipline is ever expanding. A new generation of young scholars is entering this field creating a community of new and seasoned researchers identifying and exploring many new research avenues and themes. The purpose of this track is to congregate a critical mass of researchers to further develop this community of scholars discussing new avenues for the academic research on expatriate management.

Emerald Group Publishing and the Journal of Global Mobility (JGM): The Home of Expatriate Management Research have instituted an annual Best Paper Award for Expatriate Management papers at EURAM Conferences involving a cash prize and an invitation to be considered for publication in JGM.
