TASK
A) Discussion on factors related with expatriate failure and key concept to overcome from
challenges
According to present market business are performing their operations and functions
according to global or international industry. Expatriate failure is defined as a term that is used
for encompass different issue due to which return on investment is prevent. Culture aspects in
TESCO formulate challenges for management as diversity among workplace and in market is
complex to manage because non-involvement of culture value in organisation. This refers that
TESCO face challenges related with society and culture because top authorities are in favour of
local market and workforce only. Early return, underperformance and adjustment problems are
some issue due to which expatriate failure take place. Both industry and destination face
different expatriate failures. Apart from this, Globalisation provide similar platform to all
organisation whether, they are small or large. With the study of different phenomenon related
with culture shock and their influence on expatriates deploy different factors related with world.
Expatriate face and experience culture shock and deal with it on daily basis (Covin and Miller,
2014). There are different factors relates with expatriates such as length of time, reason of travel,
goal of journey etc. Expatriate usually pass six months to five years at a place. The motive of
such individuals is to learn from the place and than return to their home country for surviving life

with a motive and purpose. TESCO management identify reason that relates with expatriate
crisis some of them are discuss as below:
 Failed assignment due to premature return of expatriates- Lack of cross culture
adjustments by the family members and spouse is the major reason which is stated among
studies related with failure of expatriates. Poor performance among assessment or project
role is generate due to the low understanding of culture values. Another major reason that
is related with international assessment failure define challenges as it is complex to
obtain satisfaction from jobs. TESCO perform work as a MNC that manage business
among different locations that exists at global level. So directly or indirectly cost for
organisation is increased because training is required by Expatriate to understand work
performance and their role in company (Díaz-Fernández, González-Rodríguez and
Simonetti, 2015).
 Repatriation agreement- Assignment are completed successfully after the repatriation
of planning as the time of expatriate also relates with overseas program. Repatriation
agreement is consider between employee's and employer. TESCO generate agreement
that match and manage workforce goals along with company requirements. The elements
of repatriation agreement is to involve an include provision that is related with specific
period of time. But from expatriate person they are not involved or dedicated towards the
goals of company because the last factor of expatriate is to return home. It diverse
expatriate to work according to agreement and company goals.
 Repatriation programs- Effectiveness of a repatriation program define the ability for
addressing the queries that is related with the personal aspects of individuals. In the
context of TESCO expatriates most of the repatriation questions are based on knowledge
which is acquired from responsiveness phase of organisation crisis. Programmes are
crucial for demonstrating success because they represent job related success factors
which is used in managing culture according to home country by allowing family
members to engage and understand values of a particular region (English, 2016).
Methods that help TESCO to overcome from expatriate problems
With the unfamiliar cuisine, foreign language and adjusting a life within another region is
a major challenge for expatriate. TESCO adopt techniques that helps to understand new

environment with proper guidance and expertise. Some method for managing expatriate work is
mention as follow:
 Time to adjust- Culture shock and positive aspects for homesick is normal all
expatriates experience a period that is complex to understand. In the present scenario,
there are various challenges faced by expatriate person because of large differences
among individuals. TESCO motivate workforce specifically expatriate through providing
time to adjust for understanding the company performance. Accountable aspect work as
a positive factor that leads TESCO to motivate workforce for completion of task in an
organised manner (Hohenstein, Feisel and Hartmann, 2014). The main reason for
providing time to expatriate by TESCO is to overcome from problem of cross-culture
challenge because more time provide aspects for analysing and engaging culture of
another country into individual roles.
 Prepare and orientate expatriates- Large number of expatriate face failure conditions
and the cause for not achieving success is poor preparation and planning to enter into
globalisation aspect. With understanding the behaviour of workforce this is identified
that various difficulties is faced such as TESCO authorities is more focused towards
local workforce it results that expatriate are demotivated. Therefore, to overcome from
culture factors management also offer opportunity to expatriate to perform all work at a
similar platform. Another issue to gain focus of expatriate is undertaken by management
with preparing aspects is to prepare and orientate workforce to complete work according
to decide strategy and agreement. So expatriate and TESCO both are benefited by the
management in managing work.
 Need of Expatriates- There are different workforce capabilities and practices is
included among the multi-national mode of international organisation. Parent country
national and Host country nationals are two different methods of workforce (Lee and et.
al., 2015). TESCO minimise the culture related challenges by handling and controlling
different provision which is used to reside abroad and manage provisions as per country
requirement. TESCO reduce the problems by answering all question of expatriates. This
refers that person perform their role with transparent and fair basis through
understanding answer of all questions.

B) Discussion about factors which contribute towards the notion of globalised economy
The term Globalisation is explicated as a global economic integration that includes an old
phenomena to undertakes all practices whether, local or international at a similar platform.
Economy of world is becoming more interdependent by engaging world practices at a same
place. As per current situation, the process of globalisation is an ongoing method that is
including individuals, resources and organisation at a same place. TESCO is earning profits by
generating sales in their local market and also from beyond national section. It also leads
management to understand culture of various country. A different number of opportunities and
trade barrier are reduced by performing work through the globalisation aspects. Modern business
practices, culture and value all are relate with global economy (Moore, 2020). Example- TESCO
offer local country products in their stores for managing competition with local stores of country.
This results that increase in interdependences of MNC on each other induce world economics to
become reliant on each other.
Expatriate person perform their work in international market for managing task with fresh
and unknown region. This is used by management to understand new culture with the type of
changing and introducing efforts as it help for explore different resources which leads TESCO to
complete task with more efficiency. Along with this country are developing with rapid speed so
foreign investment is an important perspective to enter into economy of market. MNC such as
TESCO provide required resources to country because it helps in managing work as per
globalised economy (Mustak and et. al., 2016). This also refers that by explaining about
globalisation concept as it help to manage ideas related with increment. It also represent different
factors that is used to manage international policies to perform work for offering support as per
globalisation aspect.
 Increase in information and communication technique- One of the most beautiful
notion that induce increment related with global economy is to integrate foreign
technology among business. Development of technology factor increase in information
that helps for performing work according to telephonic communication. This also
support business to complete all task by managing work with each other that helps to
perform all task according to decided situation. Thus, integration of economics and
business integrate about revolutionary changes and development of societal and
economic advantage. With an accurate international trade policy an organisation

enable the trade by use of regular information that helps in completing work according
to decided task and policy. Welfare of organisation plays an important role and it lead
workforce to engage right role in company. With expatriate procedures individual
support better technology that help people to perform work according to international
locations. This also keep persons and individuals with a loop of performing work by
keeping contract with home organisation and working environment.
 Economic factors- Global economy is a post industrial factor that result for
completion of task with better trade policy, minimise of trade barrier and completion of
task with to manage all work in an organised manner. Economic factor and trade
practices both leads management to work with integration of economy (Pitsis and et.
al., 2014). Development of different practices helps organisation in performing all
work according to trade policy which boost the economic factors and leads
management to complete task with fair trade policy. Moreover, accountability aspects
also aids management to manage and complete all work as per fair trade policy that is
used to gain better results from all operations and system of business.
 Human capital and labour transfer- Person, human or individual transfer or move
towards different locations which is placed in international market. In simple terms,
expatriate process transfer individual from one country into another country. Aims and
agenda are also developed by persons as per situation that make integration as per
global economy. Professional individual perform their work with more efficiency
because they are expert in performing role. With the notion of movement an individual
integrate global economy to manage work according to international market. Laws and
policies are also safe as it helps individual for completion of task according to place
rules that ensure safety of workforce also (Schuler and Jackson, 2014). Policies such as
health insurance, similar pay system, equality in society etc. are factors that is related
with business helps in integration of economy and business resources.
 Increased investment- The term global economic integration define different benefits
which involve and undertake individuals to complete their work according to idea of
globalisation and international trade. With support of notion it is easy for company to
gain resources as well as investment from different segments. This results it is easy for
company to gain financial support that offer better practices to organisation. Further, as

per the notion of economical factors for the global economy aids in generation of
ethical and social policy to complete work as per international trade. TESCO investor
feel safe with aspect of international trade because it is design as per increase in
economy factors.
CONCLUSION
With the analysis of above report it is concluded by management that expatriate process
and their factors are essential to perform work as it influence company success by completing all
work according to decided goals and objectives. Similarly, expatriate failure leads to generate
loss and decrease in profits due to poor planning of finance. With an effective plan and right
investment within the process of expatriation helps to complete all work through investment plan
and success factors. Different issue are minimised by managing all task according to
globalisation in order to complete task according to surroundings.
