You're the business unit president of your company, which is a large retailer headquartered in Arkansas. Your competitors have advanced into Canada and you wish to do so as well. Your real estate team has determined that it would be easier and more economical to search for empty/abandoned space rather than buying the "dirt" and building on it. From a people perspective, what do you do? You envision a team that would be stationed in each province in Canada over the long haul as you ramp up operations. You also envision a real estate team that would travel from province to province and city to city searching out appropriate facilities. Your CEO has decided that both these teams should be staffed by expatriate employees. Once the stores are built or converted, they would be staffed by Canadian foreign nationals. Would you try to entice current employees to take on an extended expatriate assignment or just send employees up to Canada and house them in hotels and pay travel expenses? What would be the most economical and effective method? Thoughts?
