The aim of this chapter is to highlight the properties presented by the international human capital that allows us to conceptualize it as a strategic resource of organizations, and therefore, a potential source of sustainable competitive advantage. We highlight the role of international assignments as a preferred way for companies to contribute to developing global skills in leadership. Finally, under the consideration of the difficulties that can raise these assignments, both in terms of cost and effectiveness, we review some other alternative ways of development that companies are currently hiring: short-term expatriates, virtual, self-initiated and inpatriation. |
