Heller (1998) suggests that culture should be approached in the same way one would approach an aggressive patient - without prejudice. Black (1991) found five dimensions as components of the cross-cultural adjustment process including pre-departure training, previous overseas experience, organization selection mechanism, individual skill, and non-work factor. The first three dimensions concern the issues that exist ahead of expatriate managers' departure from their countries; the remaining two dimension are related to the period after the managers arrive in their foreign stations.
