CONCLUSION
Experienced expatriates , especially those with prior emerging market experience , would have little difficulty in steering a path towards both a successful and personally rewarding assignment tenure given appropriate destination support and assuming continued progress in the country ' s political , security & safety direction .
Employees without any previous expatriate experience and those with older school aged children will face an environment that throws up new challenges on a daily basis and for which they need to be truly & adequately prepared for prior to assignment i . e . cross cultural training prior to the move , and on-going support during their assignment .
The Expat , as for all assignments , will need to be self-confident and comfortable in dealing with uncertainty . A flexible attitude is essential along with a large amount of patience !
