An Expatriate's First 100 Days: What Went Wrong?
Dwyer, Laura Paglis
Management Teaching Review, v3 n4 p309-319 Dec 2018
Instructors teaching undergraduate survey courses in management are faced with a dilemma: How to balance the wide scope of such a course with the desire to cover each topic in sufficient depth to make the material meaningful and useful. The specific subject area in focus here is international differences in work-related values. This exercise addresses two critical takeaways for management students getting a "first look" at this complex topic: (1) How do values differences between national cultures influence employee behavior? (2) How might observed differences in behavior lead to misperceptions and problems for an expatriate manager?
