Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expatriate failure is the premature return of an expatriate manager to his/her home country due to various reasons such as inability to adjust to the foreign culture, professional or personal problems, or failure in meeting the job requirements. Repatriation, on the other hand, refers to the process of returning expatriate employees back to their home country after completing their international assignment. Inpatriate failure and foreign manager failure are not commonly used terms in the expatriate management literature.
