ABSTRACT

In the globalisation era, where number of multinational companies (MNC’s) increase and operated in different countries, the requirement to hire more personnel from different nations increased. Business theorist, Peter Drucker reports that there were 7.258 known multinationals in 1969, and by 2000 there were more than 63.000, spread out among banks, telecom companies, energy, manufacturers, insurance firms, retailing, restaurant chains, consultancies, and other types of businesses (PPI, 2005). For the expatriates, work in a foreign country creates so many problems. They have to adapt with local environment, and specifically must cope with different cultures among business people in organization.
