This includes the management of knowledge and the tools, methods and practices that can be customized to facilitate the transfer of knowledge in MNCs settings. The text is an in-depth international compendium of theoretical and empirical studies about the role of expatriates in knowledge transfer at global levels. Thorough and comprehensive, it covers topics recognized by practitioners, academics, and researchers, yet about which very little has been published at an international level. Coverage includes: organizational culture; cross-cultural differences; globalization; cross-generational issues, technology-based sharing systems; intellectual capital management; linguistic differences; and distinctive political practices. It investigates the challenges imposed by culture, generation, tools, laws, regulations, and language, and examines the benefits of knowledge management principles that originate from different cultures, heterogeneous knowledge, and diverse intellectual capital management in global settings. 410 0$aInternational business and management series ;$vv. 27. 606 $aInternational business enterprises 606 $aForeign workers 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xKnowledge Capital$2bisacsh 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xInternational$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aInternational business$2bicssc 606 $aKnowledge management$2bicssc 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 615 0$aForeign workers. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xKnowledge Capital. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xInternational$xGeneral. 615 7$aInternational business. 615 7$aKnowledge management. 676 $a338.88 701 $aMariano$b Stefania$01463153 701 $aMohamed$b Mirghani$01463154 701 $aMohiuddin$b Qadir$01463155 701 $aGhauri$b Pervez N.$f1948-$0115808 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781437703321 996 $aThe role of expatriates in MNCs knowledge mobilization$93672379 997 $aUNINA
