Mention two main reasons of failure of US Expatriate Managers?

1. Managers and New Culture: The US Expatriate Managers are poorly trained for the challenges of international assignments. So is becomes difficult to face a new culture and tradition. It takes time for managers and their family to adjust to the new circumstances. The adaptation to the new language, locale, people and their sentiments, consume most of their energy. Moreover, the working mode, employee and staff relations also come as a shock, which becomes difficult to manage.

2. Work schedule: Americans are citizens of the world’s most developed nation with a strict set of labor rules and regulations. The transition from their own country to another makes them vulnerable to a different set of rules, that may be biased and more pressurizing. Success in other countries may involve long working hours, without scheduled holidays or leave. The stressful and demanding work conditions hamper their vitality and they suffer high rates of failure.
