I need your help :-) thanks in advance

17 years ago
Dear all,

My name is Marie-Laure Colmar and I am currently student in Ireland, at the Dublin Business School. Im preparing my Bachelor of Arts in Marketing, and I am doing researches to write a paper about expatriation. My objective is precisely to discover how companies can effectively support expatriates during an international assignment. To help me in such an area, I have designed a questionnaire intended for expatriates.

I would be really grateful if you allocated some minutes of your time to answer this questionnaire. A special effort has been made to make the questions as precise as possible, and some questions are opened in order to allow you expressing yourself and share your experience.

Best regards,

Marie-Laure Colmar
