The Family in the Classroom: An Experiential Exercise for Teaching Issues Related to Expatriate Assignments	1996	4	.pdf	application/pdf	2745	121	41	Specifically, it is important to discuss: (1) the role of international assignments in preparing rising executives for managing global enterprises; (2) the need for the expatriate to have knowledge of the language, culture, and customs of the host country; (3) the extent to which most firms prepare the expatriate for the assignment; (4) the problems that can, and do, arise when the overseas assignment ends and the employee returns; and (5) how overseas assignments can affect an employee’s family, especially as it relates to dual career families, children’s education, and changes in lifestyle. The exercise presented in this paper is an effective way to enhance students’ understanding of several topics related to international employee assignments.	cache/absel-1200.pdf	txt/absel-1200.txt
