Abstract:

The substitution of expatriates by host country nationals is part of a foreign subsidiaries’ development

process; the extent of substitution depends not only on multinationals’ strategies towards the host market

but also on the economics of the site and the availability of local managers. The purpose of this paper is

to establish initial statements for Latin America that will help us describe the phenomenon. The crosschecking

of the literature, interviews with managers from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia, and a

description of Latin America as a subject of research provide hints for further steps in the consideration

of this matter.
