This systematic review endeavors to offer a comprehensive analysis of the research on expatriate managers in the hospitality industry, elucidate contemporary issues, and identify prominent trends that are important for both researchers and practitioners. This study utilizes bibliometric and thematic analytic methodologies to trace the development of academic scholarship on expatriate managers over time, highlighting emerging themes at critical points in the literature. A review of 43 articles published between 1990 and 2023 reveals that researchers have paid disproportionate attention to issues that arise and encounter managers during their international assignments, while giving far less attention to issues related to returning home, expatriate work‐life balance, family dynamics, and female expatriates. Imperative voids in the literature on hospitality expatriation are revealed and theoretical and practical consequences are advanced, including suggestions for future research and methods for improving expatriate managers' journeys in international hospitality assignments. To the best of our knowledge, this review is a groundbreaking effort in this academic field, paving the way for future studies that aim to shed light on the complex realities faced by hospitality industry expatriate managers.

“…As part of the preparation for study-abroad programs, HE institutions promote IC development to meet employers' increasing demand for global work experiences (Jackson & Oguro, 2017;Tran & Soejatminah, 2017).

In the rapidly evolving higher education landscape of the 21st century, cultivating intercultural competence has become a crucial prerequisite for students‘ success in our highly interconnected world. While intercultural competence has traditionally been associated with internationalization in higher education, its impact transcends international boundaries. This dissertation delves into the influence of intercultural competence education on students’ adaptability and success within culturally diverse environments. It aims to foster a context-specific understanding of intercultural competence in higher education, promoting a more transcultural perspective of this competence. The research findings illuminate the critical factors that shape students’ adaptability and success, including the recognition and utilization of diverse perspectives, the application of transcultural understanding, the engagement in collective spaces and interactions, and the comprehension of the developmental process associated with this competence. By equipping students with these essential elements, higher education institutions prepare them to navigate the multifaceted challenges of their academic journeys and thrive in their future careers within our interconnected world.

“…In a recent report by Brookfield Global Relocation Services (2015) stated international mobility of human resources and the development of international managers or leaders is an increasingly critical issue for businesses. Many expatriates have cited personal and professional development or career advancement as key reasons for accepting international assignments (Ayoun, Rowe, & Eyoun, 2014;Cartus Corporation, 2014;Stahl, Miller, & Tung, 2002;Suutari & Brewster, 2001;Thorn, 2009). Many universities have international exchange programs to send their students overseas with the assumption that such exposures will allow the students to develop a global perspective and hence become more competitive in the marketplace (e.g., Institute of International Education, 2013).…”

I am also thankful for the many individuals who are ever ready to show their support in the smallest ways, be it in form of verbal encouragement, being physically present, cheering or praying for me. I am especially thankful for the friendship with Yeo Su Lin, who has been like a big sister to me. Finally, I want to end with appreciating my spiritual sisters in my cell group. Though I may not show it, your little acts of support have not gone unnoticed.
