In a concise and straightforward manner, this guide presents the fundamental issues involved in global staffing, particularly in developing a corporate compensation approach for expatriate assignments. This reference strongly emphasizes the critical importance of considering the differences in the cost of goods and services, housing, and income taxes in international assignments as well as in regional transfers within the same country.
