00763nam a2200121Ia 4500 20260716043417.0 Forster, Nick Myth of the 'international manager' 2000 Argues that the idea of the 'international manager' is largely a myth. Contends that it is in fact psychologically impossible for most people to cope with the dislocation and upheaval that regular international relocations would cause. Demonstrates that long-term international assignments can also have a damaging effect on employee career prospects after they return to their country of origin. Concludes by suggesting how managers gain international experience without the need for long-term assignments. 2/26/01 JOY_D A 46689 46689
