Abstract
Understanding about global competencies and influence of different developmental experiences is a starting point in planning and carrying out activities with the overall purpose of exploring and developing global competencies throughout the organization to meet the new challenges of increasingly international operation environment. At the same time organizations’ ability to influence this development process has become increasingly limited. The importance and value of acquired career capital depends to increasing extent on the subjective needs and expectations of an individual. Finnish expatriates were interviewed focusing on the perceived development of global career capital and its transferability into new contexts, home or abroad.
