Abstract

In the context of globalisation and internationalisation, international assignments are becoming increasingly significant for multinational companies. Therefore, companies are committed to avoiding expatriate failure and ensuring opportunities for success, because the success of assignment is closely related to the interests of the company. Moreover, the selection of expatriates is a key factor in promoting the success of international assignment [1], which fuels the starting point of this study. This paper first introduces the importance of successful expatriate, then describes the selection criteria and procedure, and finally considers the limitations of the selection.
