Abstract
No one factor could have as great an impact on multinational corporati ons (MNCs) than the dual-career phenomena. The selection of expatriate candidates is a complex process made more arduous by the career orien tation of the expatriate's spouse. The need for a social support netwo rk is essential for the dual-career family to increase the probability of successfully completing an expatriate assignment.
