Expatriate:
According to Dowling & Welch, “An
employee who is working and temporarily residing in a foreign country”
According to Lassere, “People that are
living and working in a non-native country"
So we can say that:-
‘An expatriate is an employee that is
temporarily working and living in a country or region that is not his or her
home country.’
Expatriate known as ‘International assignees’
Inpatriate:
Inpatriates are the subsidiary managers
who are sent to the HQ for a specific period of time. This would allow key subsidiary
managers to get to know the workings of the parent company and build up informal
communication networks. In another way we can say that:-
Inpatriates is a subset of expatriates
who are citizens of a foreign country, working in the home country of their
multinational employer. (e.g., citizen of India, who moves to U.S to work for
Microsoft)
