Expatriate adjustment revisited
From culture shock to acculturation strategies
RILMIS, vol. 2, n° 2, p. 38–55 Publié le 14 septembre 2026 Anglais
This review revisits the classic models of expatriate managers’ adaptation. It traces the shift from the notion of culture shock to multidimensional models of international adjustment, and then to acculturation strategies. It shows that these approaches shed light on different aspects of the expatriation experience and argues for combining them in the preparation and support of managers.
