'In the Research Handbook of Expatriates, Yvonne McNulty and Jan
Selmer have created a seminal work that should be on the bookshelf
of all social scientists who work in the field of expatriation.
More senior scholars will appreciate the ''deep dive'' each chapter
takes into the literature, each one acting as a reservoir they can
draw from to powerfully inform their future research efforts.
Doctoral students and newly minted PhDs will find this book to be
especially valuable - the final chapter of the book alone provides
inestimable career and ''how-to-publish'' guidance for them in the
field of expatriation. The coverage of the history, construct,
milieu, research methodologies, and issues is the best I have come
across in a single volume in over 30 years of working in the field.
In short, this is a monumental contribution to the study of
expatriates and global mobility.' - Mark E. Mendenhall, University
of Tennessee 'McNulty and Selmer's edited volume does a wonderful
job of consolidating and integrating everything we know about
expatriates and their different types. This long-overdue Handbook,
featuring chapters by top researchers, lays a trail for scholars to
further advance the study of expatriates.' - Joyce Osland, San Jose
State University 'McNulty and Selmer's edited book of readings on
virtually all aspects of expatriates deserves a prominent place in
the library of researchers and practitioners interested in this
subject. The Handbook provides a historical overview as well as the
latest trends in expatriate studies and concludes with useful
guidelines on how to conduct as well as improve the quality of
research in this field.' - Rosalie L. Tung, Simon Fraser
University, Canada Constituting a comprehensive and carefully
designed collection of contributions, the Research Handbook of
Expatriates provides a nuanced and up-to-date discussion of
expatriates. Theoretically broad and groundbreaking, it offers
important and contemporary insights into emerging areas of research
warranting future consideration. Drawing upon a range of
perspectives from the field?s most distinguished academics,
contributions review the history of the literature in relation to
expatriates, from the development of the expatriate construct
through to the current state of research on business expatriates.
Subsequent chapters progress into detailed examinations of the
various types of business expatriates including LGBT,
self-initiated expatriates, female assignees, inpatriates,
international business travellers and commuters, and millennials.
Other themes include expatriate performance, adjustment,
expatriates to and from developing countries, global talent
management, and expatriates? safety and security. The Research
Handbook also covers expatriates in diverse communities such as
education, military, missionary, sports and ?Aidland?, and provides
additional commentaries relating to methodological issues, research
with practitioners, case studies, biculturals and ATCKs, and global
families. The Research Handbook concludes with publishing advice
for PhD and early career researchers. Stimulating insightful new
areas of study, this collection is a must read for academics and
scholars in the field of expatriate research, international
management, global human resource management and business
administration. It also offers a wealth of guidance for executives
and recruiters along with expatriates and professionals who may
expatriate. Contributors: M. Andresen, C. Brewster, L. Care, J.-L.
