This timely guide provides a current, comprehensive and theoretically-grounded coverage of the state of the field of expatriate research.Following the COVID-19 pandemic expatriates have been affected by the shifting nature and extent of expatriation. Rather than looking at expatriation as the assignment, leading experts analyse the experiences of expatriates, exploring the agency of expatriates themselves. The chapters discuss a wide range of experiences including those of government, religious and humanitarian expatriates, ethnically and culturally diverse expatriates, neurodivergent expatriates, and other diverse groups of expatriates as well as addressing the health, safety and wellbeing, flexible global work arrangements, and management and support for those living abroad. The guide also outlines future research directions in the field, considering issues such as privilege, structural barriers, and the need for greater inclusivity and representation.Scholars and students of human resource management and international business will greatly benefit from this authoritative guide. Highly relevant and engaging, it is also an essential resource for practitioners and consultants in international human resource management.

It also offers important insights into emerging and new areas of research warranting future consideration.The Handbook commences by reviewing the history of the literature, from the development of the discipline through the current state of research, and progresses into examinations of how socio-cultural and organizational issues affect women, with reference to work/life issues and family. Matters affecting women in international management and work in diverse areas of the globe are then examined, including the Arab Middle East, East Asia, South America, and Western and Central Europe. Next, themes including self-initiated expatriation, women in non-traditional families, and women in the mining industry are explored. The Handbook concludes with a few explicitly reflective chapters by academics working within the field.Contributors::M. Baker, F.L. Cooke, M. Cowling, L. DeVriese, C. Dickie, N. Doherty, I. Fischlmayr, E.C. Harrison, K. Hutchings, I. Kollinger-Santer, P. Lirio, R. McGourty, S. McKenna, Y. McNulty, B. Metcalfe, S. Michailova, M. Moeller, B. Nagy, N. Napier, H. Primecz, J. Richardson, S.

This important book brings together a set of original key contributions to knowledge management in developing economies. It encompasses a wide range of countries throughout Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America as well as the transition economies of the former socialist countries in Eastern Europe. These carefully selected country case studies represent a broad range of issues in managing knowledge. They consider the way in which knowledge management processes and practices are influenced by local culture and institutions as well as by interaction with the broader international community. The need for an aggregated analytical approach in untangling the increasingly complex process through which knowledge processes are created, transferred and deployed is also highlighted. The book provides a strong nexus between theory and practice by offering solutions to problems such as: minimising knowledge leakage, creating knowledge-sharing cultures and promoting management learning.Presenting the latest research on intercultural knowledge management, this book will be warmly welcomed by researchers, students and lecturers with an interest in international management and knowledge management. Its strong focus on practitioner implications will provide international managers with invaluable suggestions on how to maximise knowledge sharing in international joint ventures and subsidiary operations.
