    Moore, Sarah and Punnett, Betty Jane (1994) Expatriates and their Spouses: A Pilot Study in the Limerick Region, and Directions for Future Research. Irish Business and Administrative Research, 15 (1): 13. pp. 178-184. ISSN 0332-1118

    Abstract

    Increased internationalisation of business has resulted in more employees spending time in foreign locations as expatriate workers (Gregersen and Black, 1992). Nowhere is this more true than in the European Community. Linkages between E.C. member countries has resulted in increased intra-regional trade and investment (Dekker, 1989; Nicoll and Salmon, 1990) as well as increased business interest in the region on the part of non-EC organisations (External Affairs and International Trade Canada, 1992). Developments in Eastern Europe are also contributing to firms’ interest in Europe as a whole.
