"For us, talent managers or international mobility managers, this book gives us another vision of expatriation. It deconstructs a widespread vision, one that emphasizes the advantages of being an expatriate. It puts into perspective the challenges they face and helps us, in a way, to see the submerged part of the iceberg. International mobility is not an idyllic experience.
We have a role to play in easing any tensions, in bringing the employee's objectives into line with those of the company."
