Abstract:
Under the globalization era, enterprises are facing dynamic business
environments and developing towards global enterprises. In order to pursue global
integration and corporate sustainable management, a lot of multinational corporations
regard expatriation as a tool to train managers’ leadership, expecting to
develop and cultivate such managers’ knowledge of international economic environment
and transnational management through expatriation. Good repatriate
management presents positive effects on corporate knowledge sharing, but it is
easily ignored. Consequently, this study intends to discuss the effect of repatriate
management on knowledge dissemination and knowledge sharing behavior in
international businesses. With convenience sampling, total 380 copies of questionnaire
are distributed to the expatriates, who have completed overseas expatriation
and returned the country, aiming at Chinese enterprises ranked in global
500 enterprises announced by the confidential research of Financial Times with
higher degree of internationalization. Total 262 valid copies are retrieved, with
the retrieval rate 69%. The research results conclude that 1. repatriate management
presents positive relations with knowledge dissemination, 2. knowledge dissemination
shows positive relations with knowledge sharing behavior, and 3. repatriate
management reveals positive relations with knowledge sharing behavior.
Based on the analysis results, suggestions are eventually proposed in this study,
expecting to assist domestic international businesses in the repatriate management.
Keywords:
