Abstract:
This article emphasizes the benefits of social media and online collaboration technology use in expatriate management, and the need to pay special attention to digitalization-related issues in supporting expatriates and their family members before, during, and after international assignments. In particular, we argue that the traditional approaches to expatriate management need to be developed further to reflect current technological advancements, especially social media and online collaboration tools that are increasingly used by millions of individuals worldwide on a daily basis. For this purpose, we show the advantages of implementing the above digital technologies in a number of instances, ranging from the recruitment and selection of international assignees to the cultural adjustment of expatriates and their families in a foreign country. The research outlines recommendations that will guide the management of these digital tools by assigning organizations.
