You are a consultant who has been hired to advise the manager of an international HRM function for a firm whose staffing view is ethnocentric.

You find out that the firm has been spending far too much money assigning expatriates to manage its foreign operations who then return early with the assignment incomplete, and that the host country nationals working for the foreign subsidiaries are disgruntled because their managers are foreigners and do things differently. Neither the foreign managers or the staff can work well together and as a result, feelings are running high.

In the context of cross cultural adjustment and effective international staffing across cultures, advise the company why they may be experiencing some of the problems outlined and what they can do about it.
