Abstract

On the basis of an empirical study of 146 Scandinavian firms, this paper analyses possible determinants of corporate practice regarding the selection and training of expatriates. The analysis indicates that the home country of the multinational company, its total number of expatriates, the extent to which the company has expatriates in culturally distant countries, and the type of industry, all affect corporate practice. The results of the study are discussed, and ways of increasing our knowledge of this phenomenon are indicated.
