Abstract
Expatriate assignment (EA) and overseas experience (OE) models of inte rnational career experience are compared. Analysis of recent case stud y data suggests OE's advantages over EA for people's development and i ts consequences. In aim, the analysis suggests both human resource man agement and national policy-making shift from planning toward knowledg e-centered approaches.
