Companies usually prefer hiring third-country nationals for filling positions in host-countries.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

To be effective, employees in a foreign location must understand that region's business and social culture. Organizations often meet this need by hiring host-country nationals to fill most of their foreign positions. One of the reasons for this is that training for and transporting families to foreign assignments is more expensive than hiring people in the foreign country. Also, employees may be reluctant to take a foreign assignment because of the difficulty of moving overseas.
