Understanding Self-Initiated Expatriates: Career Experiences of Lebanese Self-Initiated Expatriates
Al Ariss, A., & Özbilgin, M. Forthcoming, 2010. Understanding Self-Initiated Expatriates: career experiences of Lebanese self-initiated expatriates. Thunderbird International Business Review, 25, 4
Drawing on a field study based on interviews with 43 Lebanese skilled self-initiated expatriates from the Paris region in France and six policy makers and immigration specialists, the paper offers an alternative to theories of management that frame expatriate careers as either organizationally or individually driven. In doing so, we explicate how the international work experiences of self-initiated expatriates can be captured in ways true to their nature as multifaceted and multi-level phenomena.
