Traditional Training Methods

Pre-departure training has been strongly supported in past literature as a tool to enable expatriates and their families to prepare for the significant changes they are about to undertake. Given the significant cultural distance between the four Western countries’ and the UAE cultures and the perceived benefits of intensive cross culture training prior to arriving in a host country, the authors proposed that “Western female expatriates in the UAE need rigorous and long pre-departure cross culture training”. What was the main finding of this proposition? Do you agree with their findings? Why / why not? Explain your answer.
