Expatriation Assessment
Interview a person of your choice who has been on expatriation as an international assignee in his or her career (in the past or present). If you don’t know anyone who has been or is on international assignment, you may use your own experience if you have been on expatriation assignment or conduct some informal Internet research to collect information (reviewing blogs by ex-pat professionals is okay for this assignment).
During the interview (or based upon your research):
Discuss how this person was chosen for an expatriation assignment and what the experience was like.
Design and complete a pre-departure checklist with your commentary on the following:
How well (on a scale of 1 = low and 5 = high) each of the competencies in

were developed by the assignee.
How could IHRM practices and interventions help to address each competency (1) proactively in pre-departure and/or (2) during the assignment.
Create a table based on the sample table, Table 5

, to briefly describe the overall current assessment on a scale of 1 to 5. Add your recommendations for pre-departure and during assignment.
