Chapter 1 explains the main causes for the existence of internationally employed managers and states the purpose of this thesis. Chapter 2 focuses on the definition of expatriates and on the utilization of international managers. Chapter 3 links the expatriation issue to international human resource management and investigates its role during the expatriation cycle and in the process of expatriate performance evaluation. Chapter 4 presents the most important stages of the expatriation cycle and their influence on expatriate performance. Chapter 5 concentrates on the salient differences of performance management and performance appraisal. Chapter 6 aims to provide definitions for success and failure, and deals with expatriate failure rates. Chapter 7 is the center of this thesis and comprehensively explains the heart of every performance management process - goal setting and performance evaluation. The last chapter summarizes the findings of the master thesis, and is concerned with the limitations of these findings and their role in future research.The aim of this theoretical study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of expatriate performance appraisal, based on existing literature, to show its limitations, and to provide a solid basis for further research.Inhaltsverzeichnis:Table of Contents:TABLE OF CONTENTS2INDEX OF FIGURES4INDEX OF TABLES51.INTRODUCTION61.1Economic Background61.1.1International Economic Trends61.1.2Austrian Foreign Trade81.2Trends in Expatriation101.3Purpose of the Study101.4Structure of the Thesis112.THE BUSINESS OF EXPATRIATION122.1Definitions122.2Reasons for Expatriation133.INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT153.1A Strategic Approach153.2International Staffing Issues173.2.1Scope of Internationalization173.2.2Headquarters Orientation194.THE EXPATRIATION CYCLE214.1Selection Process224.1.1Selection Criteria224.1.2Selection Process244.2Training254.2.1Training Modes254.2.2Cost of Training264.3Host Country Experience274.3.1Expatriate Adjustment Process274.3.2Culture Shock274.4Repatriation294.4.1Adjustment, Change & Expectations295.PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT & APPRAISAL325.1Definition of Performance Management325.2Definition of Performance Appraisal346.SUCCESS AND FAILURE366.1Definition of Success366.1.1Factors Contributing to Success376.1.2Domestic versus International Success376.2Definition of Failure386.2.1Factors Contributing to Failure386.3Cost of Failure396.4Failure Rates407.EXPATRIATE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL427.1Goal Setting and Expatriate Performance447.1.1Job Description467.1.2Expatriate Involvement487.1.3Specificity of Goals497.1.4Hard and Soft Goals497.1.5Difficulty and Duration of Goals517.1.6Number of Goals537.1.7Goal Setting - An Ongoing Process537.1.8Performance Goals in the International Context547.1Evaluators of Expatriate Performance557.2.1Traditional Top-Down Appraisal (Supervisor)567.2.2Self-evaluation577.2.3Upward Appraisal (Employee)597.2.4Peer Evaluation607.2.5Other Evaluators617.2.6360 Degree Feedback Process61.…
