Abstract: The global nature of modern agribusinesses has international implications for human resource management. This survey research addresses expatriate management policies along various dimensions of international human resource management: selection, culture, training, adjustment, and repatriation. All have implications for multinational firms. In conjunction with efficacious selection and training of executives, repatriation programs allow firms and expatriates to benefit from international assignments. Primary corporate benefits include reduced turnover among repatriates and higher rates of acceptance of overseas assignments. An expatriate profile of two multinationals illustrates the importance of global operational efficiency for international agribusinesses. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
