| Tiivistelmä: | The demands of managing international assignments are major considerations within strategic IHRM theory and most frequently considered within long-term employment choices between parent-country expatriates or host-country nationals. Yet recent studies from the Centre for Researc into the Management of Expatriation (CReME) (Harris, 1999; Petrovic, 2000) have highlighted the frequency of alternative types of international assignment, which they classify as "short-term", "commuter" and "frequent flyer" assignments, which are now a regular part of global business life. This article reports on a case study of one Austrian multinational organization and highlights management issues in terms of incidence, purpose, managmenet and personal impact for assignments involving frequent travel without relocation (flexible expatriation) compared with traditional expatriate assignments. |
