Expatriater, en förlegad stratergi? : En kvalitativ undersökning av multinationella företags användning av expatriater och behovet av en kameleont

Nytell, Emma, Klein, Rebecca January 2021 (has links)
I denna uppsats studeras användandet av traditionella och icke-traditionella expatriatuppdrag. Uppsatsens frågeställning är: I vilken utsträckning kan syften med traditionella expatriater uppfyllas av icke-traditionella uppdrag? Detta undersöks genom en kvalitativ studie på ett multinationellt företag som länge arbetat med expatriater. Resultatet visar tydliga exempel på hur externa faktorer samt organisatoriska- och individuella drivkrafter påverkar expatriatuppdrag när det kommer till dess syfte och/eller uppdragstyp. Resultatet visar också att flera av de syften som forskare presenterat för traditionella expatriater identifierats inom vissa icke-traditionella expatriatuppdrag. Utöver detta påträffas syftet att minska risken för konflikter som kan uppstå till följd av kulturella skillnader. Detta visade sig endast kunna uppfyllas av traditionella expatriatuppdrag, vilket motiverar att icke-traditionella uppdrag i liten utsträckning kan uppfylla traditionella uppdrag. Däremot visar studien en pågående trend mot ett minskande av traditionella expatriatuppdrag och en större acceptans gentemot alternativa uppdrag. / This paper aims to examine the employment of traditional long-term and non-standardized expatriate assignments. The question posed is: To what extent can the aims of traditional long-term assignments be reached with non-standardized assignments? To do this, the authors have performed a case study of a multinational company with a long history of employing expatriates. The theoretical framework for the study was devised by focusing on factors considered to affect the purposes and design of expatriate assignments. The results clearly demonstrate, through the examples presented, how external factors, together with organizational and individual motivations, influence the design of expatriate assignments, in terms both of the purpose and the type of assignment chosen. Similar goals with expatriates have been identified within some non-standardized expatriate assignments. Further to discussing these goals, the paper also discusses the aim of reducing the risk of conflict arising through cultural differences. As this only turned out to be relevant in the case of traditional long-term assignments, one may assert that non- standardized assignments can fulfil the goals of traditional long-term assignments to a limited extent only. Furthermore, the study demonstrates an ongoing trend towards a reduction in the use of traditional long-term assignments, and a growing tendency to accept alternative non- standardized assignments.
