Imagine you are an HR manager for a large United States-based technology organization that is expanding to Europe. Leadership of your organization has decided to develop a management team in Europe to oversee European operations. They plan to send five current employees to temporarily manage the operations while they hire and train employees in these countries to serve as a management team. The temporary assignment in Europe for the U.S.-based employees is expected to last six to nine months.
