Answer to Question 1

There are a number of reasons for the failure of international assignments. Many expatriates feel that the home office has forgotten them and their career has been sidetracked or blocked. Many cannot adjust to a different cultural environment (experiencing culture shock). Nearly two-thirds of multinationals provide cross-cultural training for expatriates prior to departure. The criteria used for selection often focuses on an overemphasis on technical qualifications (instead of cultural adaptability). Getting rid of troublesome employees by sending them overseas brings a significant cost to the firm's international operations. The inability of the expatriate's family to adapt to life in another country often leads to failure (in nearly half of all early returns).

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
