Managing Cross-Cultural Transition

by Steven Shepard

I wrote this book to address the concerns of employees who are contemplating an overseas position. The challenges of expatriation are real, but the greatest challenges occur when employees and their families return to their passport country. This book provides real solutions to the cross-cultural challenges faced by corporations, employees, and family members. It is filled with interviews, case studies, and exercises designed to minimize the challenges of cross-cultural transition. --Note from the author

Moving Your Family Overseas

by Rosalind Kalb, Penelope Welch

Cross-cultural adaptation needs of the family.

"Moving Your Family Overseas" is a very special book on moving abroad, designed explicitly for use by the entire family.

The authors discuss in detail the basic steps involved: deciding to go, preparing to leave, arriving and settling in, working through culture shock and cross-cultural adaptation, living in the expatriate community, and returning home. Maintaining a balance between general advice and detailed suggestions, they carefully examine the major issues: informing the children and assisting them in adapting, making the most of a look-see trip, settling into new living quarters, dealing with servants, finding social outlets in the host country and expatriate community, keeping the family functioning as an effective unit, and coping with reverse culture shock upon returning home. --Description by the publisher
