Virtual expatriates, who work remotely for an overseas branch of their company, often lack strong personal relationships with local employees due to the nature of their remote work arrangement. This can be a significant challenge as building relationships and understanding local context is crucial for success in international assignments. Unlike traditional expatriates, they do not relocate, thus they do not expose their family to culture shock (A), are generally less expensive since there are no relocation costs (B), and they maintain interactions with the home office, often as a key part of their role (D).
