Abstract
Purpose

-

The purpose of this master thesis, is to

condense established

insight into the

aspects which hampers the performance of

International Hires in

academic institutions

, and

provide managers with a guide to how to tackle the challenges in order to make the hire

successful and value creating.

Design/Methodology/Approach

-

An exploratory and qualitative research approach

will be used. Interviews will be conducted

with both parts of the international hiring process,

namely domestic managers/administrators and international hires currently

working in

domestic businesses, bu

t mostly with the international hires themselves.

Findings

-

There is no doubt that any change in culture, either national, regional or

corporate, will influence a person’s

well

-

being

, and hence performance. In this paper, I have

looked at the direct caus

es of p

erformance degradation.

Solutions as to how to limit the

degradation,

with a focus on Norwegian

academic institutions

,

have been suggested.

Limitations

–

The interviews were

performed at two Norwegian Academic

Institutions at the University level.

Therefore the conclusions derived from this research

cannot be carelessly applied to firms in the private sector, more research is needed.

Originality/Value

-

This paper has been aimed at giving a better understanding of the

problems facing companies that

hire

foreign

employees, and how the company can deal with

the performance issues related to

the transition process

, notably the drop in performance

immediately following relocation.
