Resumen

In recent years International Human Resource Management (IHRM) has taken on great importance as a consequence of the growing number of businesses operating on a global scale. One of the matters most examined in this field is how to manage expatriate workers. However, little empirical research has focused on the repatriation process, despite its importance for the company considering the relatively high costs associated with its failure. Attention is directed toward repatriation adjustment in this work, and repatriation of a group of Spanish workers is analysed using the case study methodology. The most relevant theoretical repatriation model followed as reference is that of Black, Gregersen and Mendenhall (1992).
