Abstract: Abstract As international organizations enter new markets and exploit the advantages of location to increase their global scope they face the challenge of transferring resources. Very often this has to be done on a short-term basis and cannot be met by classical expatriation or local adaptation. In this chapter we focus on flexpatriate assignments, short-term, unaccompanied business travel assignments of workers who hold a job in a home office and carry a workload in other countries while their family remains in their home location (Mayerhofer et al., 2004a, b).
