Expatriates as catalysts: What and how Vietnamese locals learn from self-initiated expatriates
Purpose In an era when expatriates are increasingly used as strategic conduits for developing capabilities in local business units, we identify what and how host-country nationals in a developing economy learn from self-initiated expatriates whose assignments focus on organizational capacity development objectives. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews with 23 Vietnamese host-country nationals rendered a sample of 138 learning ep…
Leveraging the common and outsourcing the distinct: Institutional Difference and Multinational Company Identity in Emerging Economies
This paper explores the challenges of outsidership faced by multinational companies (MNCs) accessing emerging economies. The paper departs from popular conceptualisations of culture drawing instead on social identity theory as part of an institutions-based view, to explain how employing a singularities approach can allow the identification of commonalities of Indianness and Australianness that can be leveraged to ameliorate negative socially embe…
Developing cognitive complexity from the expatriate experience: Evidence from a longitudinal field study
This study examines whether an international work assignment can contribute toward expatriates developing greater cognitive complexity, the core building block of a global mindset and a capability critical to being an effective cross-cultural operative. Using a pre-test–post-test longitudinal panel design, cognitive changes in a sample of Australian and New Zealand expatriates working in 18 different countries were measured. The findings show tha…
The expatriate-creativity hypothesis: A longitudinal field test
While prior research suggests that the cognitive changes triggered by cross-cultural experiences can enhance an individual’s creative-thinking abilities, this is yet to be verified through empirical field research. We draw on schema theory, and the principle of psychological dissonance experienced during cultural adaptation, to argue that expatriates undergo wholesale cognitive changes that can lead to enhanced creative-thinking abilities. We tes…

The European Commission has long been concerned over the extensive disclosures required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in form 20-F. As the IASC moves towards completing its core standards programme to the satisfaction of IOSCO, the debate has centred around the likelihood of its acceptance by the SEC. This paper examines aspects of the reconciliations to US GAAP, provided by UK registrant companies, and proposes an approach of s…
