This book, based on a PhD thesis by the author, is a study of German expatriates and their spouses living in the Republic of Ireland. Examining in detail three of the four stages of the expatriation cycle, namely the selection, preparation and adjustment of the expatriates, the aim of the study was to develop expatriate and intercultural training based on need areas and attitudes to training. This book endeavours to contribute to a better understanding of the IHRM of German expatriates, to German-Irish business relations and the conception of expatriate training and support.
