Chapter 12 in Talent Management of Self-Initiated Expatriates, 2013, pp 256-277 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) represent an increasingly important part of the global workforce, and typically come with considerable knowledge and skills and high motivation to work internationally. This, together with the growing corporate need for managers who are able to deal with global integration and coordination work (Harvey et al., 1999; Gregersen et al., 1998), makes them a potentially highly valuable part of the international workforce. In fact, SIEs are predicted to become the largest group of internationally mobile managers within the next decade (Peiperl & Jonsen, 2007; Suutari & Brewster, 2000; Tharenou & Caulfield, 2010).
