title = {Problems Faced by Western Expatriate Managers in Eastern Europe: Evidence provided by Finnish Expatriates in Russia and Estonia},
year = {1998},
note = {A common human resource management strategy among Western companies in
international operations is the use of home-country expatriate
managers although expatriate adjustment has been found to involve
difficulties. In the light of this the present study analyses the
issues faced by Finnish expatriate managers working in Russia or
Estonia. Three aspects were studied: adaptation to society, adaptation
at the work place, and company-level management problems with which
expatriates have to deal in their managerial job. The results indicate
that various kinds of problems appear in all these areas and that the
preparation of both expatriates and companies entering these markets
was usually inadequate.},
