Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mendenhall and Oddou identified four dimensions that seem to predict success in a foreign posting: self-orientation, others-orientation, perceptual ability, and cultural toughness. Cultural toughness refers to the relationship between the country of assignment and how well an expatriate adjusts to a particular posting. Many cultures are extremely male-dominated and may be particularly difficult postings for female Western managers.
