An increasing number of people are choosing to pursue an
international career. While many are sent overseas by their
employers others choose to go it alone as independent expatriates.
This book explores what it means to pursue an international career
independently. It examines the experiences of a group of British
expatriate academics who have left Britain to work in one of four
countries: New Zealand, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and
Turkey. It considers why they decided to expatriate, the nature of
their subsequent experiences and how they evaluated those
experiences in retrospect. While family and career played a
dominant role, a search for adventure was the most dominant driver
to expatriation. For many of the people who took part in this study
expatriation was a modern day adventure characterised by
professional and personal challenge as well as learning and
transformation. The book is a useful resource for IHRM researchers
and practitioners, particularly those managing expatriates. It is
also useful for people considering expatriation as part of their
own careers, particularly with respect to the impact on family,
personal and professional development.
