Expatriate Management

Knowledge and methods concerning expatriate management have become increasingly important aspects of the globalization process of the Austrian economy as well as of that of the European economy as a whole. This book provides an overview of the relevant stages of expatriation and repatriation processes. It should help both students and managers of export oriented companies to understand state-of-the-art methods and processes involved in expatriate management. Practical examples illustrate the appropriate application of the theoretical knowledge presented in this book. The chapter on labour legislation, social insurance legislation and tax law gives an overview of the current Austrian legal background for expatriation processes.
