Expatriate Manager’s Adaption and Knowledge Acquisition

Abstract

This chapter integrates the results of the previous chapters concerned with validating the expatriate learning model for adjustment and provides limitations of this research, and its implications. In this process, the researcher first summarizes and discusses the results of the examination of 9 hypotheses that correspond to 3 research questions. This section includes western expatriates’ adjustment in China, western expatriates’ learning style transitions, western expatriates’ accumulation of managerial tacit knowledge, western expatriates’ development of adaptive flexibility over time in China, and the relationships between these learning outcomes.
