The textbook states that European firms were more likely to emphasize the inability of the spouse to adjust as a reason for the failure of expatriate assignments. While changing business conditions and perceived higher costs of expatriation are also mentioned as potential factors, they are not given as much emphasis as spouse adjustment issues. Lack of desire to reside in a foreign country and fear of losing one's position after the assignment are not mentioned as reasons given by European firms.
