| Tiivistelmä: | Global careers are typically defined as involving multiple international relocations including various positions and assignments in several countries. They have recently received increasing research attention which is driven by a growing corporate need for managers who are able to deal with global integration and co-ordination in large multinational corporations. An important aspect of the competency of a global manager is his or her social capital. This paper seeks to answer the empirical research question of how multiple international relocations affect the social capital of a manager. Qualitative interviews of 20 Finnish MNC managers with global careers identified that such careers represent a "social capital paradox". Global careers are characterized by a broad and diverse network of both internal and external ties. |
