In global staffing, localization involves staffing from the host country, while expatriation involves moving employees from the home country.
Correct Answer:
True
Explanation:
Localization means staffing a subsidiary with local host-country nationals, drawing from the local talent pool rather than moving employees from the home country. Expatriation means relocating employees from the home country to work abroad, typically for a set period to transfer skills and organizational knowledge. Therefore, the statement is true: localization is staffing from the host country, expatriation is moving employees from the home country. In practice, organizations often use a mix of these approaches to balance costs, local compliance, and knowledge transfer. Outsourcing is a separate concept, involving contracting work to an external provider, not about internal staffing of the company’s locations.
