Abstract
Executives of a telecommunications corporation are wondering what they can learn form an experience to develop managers to run expanding Latin American operations. The corporation signed a letter of intent to purchase control of a leading telecommunications provider in Mexico with 2,300 employees. Senior executives knew that one of their most pressing issues would be finding the right people to manage their Latin American operations. The 14 managers sent to Mexico to manage the corporation were double the number then being prepared for that type of assignment. The executives must consider the issues encountered by this team of expatriates and their families as they try to adapt to life in Mexico.
