Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This timely guide provides a current, comprehensive and theoretically-grounded coverage of the state of the field of expatriate research.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic expatriates have been affected by the shifting nature and extent of expatriation. Rather than looking at expatriation as the assignment, leading experts analyse the experiences of expatriates, exploring the agency of expatriates themselves. The chapters discuss a wide range of experiences including those of government, religious and humanitarian expatriates, ethnically and culturally diverse expatriates, neurodivergent expatriates, and other diverse groups of expatriates as well as addressing the health, safety and wellbeing, flexible global work arrangements, and management and support for those living abroad. The guide also outlines future research directions in the field, considering issues such as privilege, structural barriers, and the need for greater inclusivity and representation.
Scholars and students of human resource management and international business will greatly benefit from this authoritative guide. Highly relevant and engaging, it is also an essential resource for practitioners and consultants in international human resource management.
‘This valuable research guide draws together the latest research-based understanding of different types of expatriates working in different kinds of settings. It discusses the specifics of many less studied expatriate groups such as government expatriates, religious expatriates and neurodivergent expatriates. The book also discusses expatriate management from a variety of important HRM angles such as talent management, mentoring and wellbeing, and offers fresh insights into the latest developments concerning global work, such as the increase in flexible global work assignments and virtual expatriation. Besides reviewing the latest developments in the field, the book will provide an important guide to future research efforts needed to fully understand the diversity of expatriates and the changing nature of expatriation.’
