Props to you, cheers.

Answer to Question 2

The overall transition process experienced by the company's international management cadre over time comprises three phases of transition and adjustment that must be managed for successful socialization to a new culture and resocialization back to the old culture. These phases are: 1. the exit transition from the home country, the success of which will be determined largely by the quality of preparation the expatriate has received; 2. the entry transition to the host country, in which successful acculturation (or early exit) will depend largely on monitoring and support; and 3. the entry transition back to the home country or to a new host country, in which the level of reverse culture shock and the ease of re-acculturation will depend on previous stages of preparation and support.
