International Managers Practices and Locational Preferences in the Global City
Relocation and concentration of globally linked business operations are closely connected to the lifestyles of foreign executive managers. This study analyzes foreign executive managers lifestyles and locational preferences. The approach developed distinguishes types of executive managers by evaluating their potential for creating cultural synergy. This study applies conjoint analysis to quantify executive locational preferences. The study led to interviews of 47% of the study population, 58 individuals. The analysis shows significant differences in the lifestyles of expatriate and hybrid managers. Executives preferences regarding first and second tier locations show significant correlation with their creation of synergies.
