Expatriation is now a common practice for companies that want to achieve internationalization or have done so. In the present article, a theoretical review is made of the key elements that should be considered by global companies in each of the different stages of the expatriation process in order to successfully carry out expatriation. It begins with a previous phase or with the beginning of the international assignment. Next, the development phase is addressed, and the process concludes with the worker's repatriation or return to his or her country of origin. The review of literature is comprehensive and systematic. For this purpose, the most recent studies published by different research institutions were analyzed and systematized. These studies considered multiple transnational companies in different industries.

Keywords : Expatriation; global talent; internationalization; human resources.
