It is controversial whether sending expatriates to other countries is effective or not. The lecturer has negative opinion about sending expatriates while the writer claims it is much better choice than hiring local people in other country.
To start with, the professor asserts that using citizens in their home country is wasting of time and cost because they have to be trained for different business style and language in the other country. This point directly contradicts the author’s contention that hiring expatriates can reduce time and cost for training because they already know system and expectation of company.
On top of that, the speaker contends that it is expensive to use expatriates because the company has to produce their housing and other necessities for living and working. This rebuffs writer’s insistence that the expensive costs of using expatriates are ignorable considering high productivity of expatriates.
