"Expatriates are only one brand of international manager. Today's choices require co-ordinated management of various expatriate packages, but also include the management and building up of forward skill supply and market mapping strategies, passive recruitment of self-initiated movers and immigrants, use of teams and networks, virtual or physical centres of excellence and various sourcing and shoring options," he said.
