| Résumé : | This research emphasizes the emergence of individual offshoring as an alternative to traditional types of international assignments. Closely linked to organizational offshoring, this form of expatriation has developed in response to the limitations of conventional international assignments in retaining employees and managing costs efficiently. Based on 33 individual interviews conducted within a Swiss multinational corporation, this emerging practice is characterized by two distinct features: the exclusion of the family from the relocation process and the absence of a structured repatriation policy, as there is no expectation for the individual to return to their home country. Individual offshoring emerges as an alternative form of company-initiated expatriation that serves as a bridge between self-initiated expatriation and assigned expatriation. The findings also suggest that individual offshoring could serve as a viable alternative to conventional expatriation models, providing a more flexible and potentially cost-effective approach to global mobility. |
