"There has been considerable research over the past two decades into the various aspects of traditional expatriate assignments. However, this research has overlooked an important category of international operator: the international business traveller, also known popularly as globetrotter or frequent flier.

We conclude that IBTs often are a neglected resource, particularly in terms of skills and knowledge transfer. "
