Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inpatriates are individuals who are citizens of a foreign country but are temporarily assigned to work in the host country's organization. They are not sent on assignments out of their home country (A), do not go on short-term assignments (C), and are not frequent travelers without relocation (D). Although E is somewhat close to the correct answer, inpatriates are typically assigned for longer than a month and do not necessarily need to be relocated to their country of origin. Inpatriates are also not necessarily foreigners living and working in another country, so option E is too restrictive. Option B, which describes third country nationals employed by a subsidiary or joint venture who relocate to the parent company, best describes inpatriates.
