Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A virtual expatriate is someone who holds an international position but works mainly online or from their home country. This fits the description of a manager who primarily manages through e-mails, videoconferences, and web-based collaboration. The other options (offshore manager, parent country national, downsized employee, and third country national) do not accurately describe this type of manager.
