Yet, one problem that is particularly acute from a talent development perspective is that of high turnover rates among repatriates. 1,779

Any process orfunction that enables organizations to gain a competitive advantage on a global scale is therefore considered valuable to those at the helm. Through our research on 60 of the world's top multinational organizations, we found that the effective management of the people side of global business does, in fact, pay dividends in stronger bottom lines.

But the many differences among team members are fertile ground for con¯ict. While traditional con¯ict management techniques gather all team members together to resolve or minimize con¯icts, geographic dispersion greatly increases the time, money, and disruption to daily work¯ow activities necessary to bring multinational teams together. We use a social network perspective to identify and prioritize con¯icts to increase team effectiveness, allowing management to focus on the most critical con¯icts ®rst. Further, we show that the most critical con¯ict might not be between headquarters and country subsidiaries, but between two country subsidiaries. #

However, while many academic articles in social sciences go to great lengths to explain their theoretical and empirical impact, in many cases their explanation of practical relevance is a paragraph in the conclusion section with a few cursory ideas that appear to be an afterthought rather than an integral part of the article. Here we provide suggestions for crafting a practical implications section that is relevant for decision makers.

' h e results suggest thu the effectiveness of problem-focusad coping suattgies in predicting crosr-culcural adjusunent is moderated by culnual distance and position level but not by time on the assipmcnt. The use of problem-focused coping suatepies was not related to expatriates' intention to remain on the assignment.

Data were collected from 110 families that had been relocated for global assignments. Longitudinal data, assessing family characteristics before the assignment and cross-cultural adjustment approximately 6 months into the assignment, were coded. This study found that family characteristics (family support, family communication, family adaptability) were related to expatriates' adjustment to working in the host country. As hypothesized, the families' cross-cultural adjustment mediated the effect of family characteristics on expatriates' host-country work adjustment.

This study also investigates the link between the use of expatriates and subsidiary performance as a function of cultural distance. Testing hypotheses based on transaction costs theory, our results suggest that firms rely on a greater number of parent country expatriates when they are culturally distant from the subsidiary (i.e. the United States). This study further demonstrates the bounded rationality problem faced by multinational corporations: cultural distance moderates the relationship between expatriate staffing and subsidiary performance such that a higher ratio of parent country expatriates is related to lower subsidiary performance, particularly in cases when cultural distance is high.

While previous research in this domain explored the antecedents of MNE subsidiary staffing decisions, strategic outcomes of different staffing patterns (e.g., using parent, host, or home country nationals) have been mostly overlooked. Drawing from the resource-based view of the firm, we develop a theoretical model that explains the links between different strategies for staffing key management positions in host country subsidiaries and the performance of those subsidiaries in their host markets and within their MNE networks. Further, we propose contingencies that moderate the relationship between subsidiary staffing strategy and host country and MNE network performance.

This model includes three predictive components affecting cross-cultural adjustment . The first includes the factors affecting whether a woman is able to form relationships on the expatriate assignment . These antecedents can include the female expatriate's personality, the cultural norms towards women, her language skills and the availability of possible opportunities for interaction . The second component includes the various sources of social interaction and social support (e .g . family members, and host national colleagues) . The third component describes the nature of a female expatriate's social interaction and social support (e .g . emotional, informational and instrumental) . Practical considerations for multinational organizations sending female expatriates are offered . . Despite the attention in the research literature, there is a concern that the number of female global assignees is proportionally low in relation to the overall size of the qualified female labour pool . Research from Australia, Canada and United States reports that the number of female expatriates will range between 7 and 14 per cent, compared to the 25 to 45 per cent of women in management .
