    An expatriate is a person living in a country other than their home country. Expatriates play important roles like managing operations, transferring skills and knowledge, and developing management skills. The expatriate assignment life cycle includes determining need, selection, pre-departure training, arrival orientation, and ongoing training. Expatriate failure can occur if they have difficulty adjusting to the host culture or have personal/family issues, leading to an early return home. Repatriation refers to returning to an expatriate's home country or country of origin at the end of an overseas assignment.
