We show how each type of assignment acts as a unique knowledge transfer channel, and why it is critical that HQ-subsidiary dyads use an appropriate combination and sequence of international assignments reflecting their specific knowledge transfer needs.enExpatriationInpatriationKnowledge TransferKnowledge TypesHQ-subsidiary RelationshipsJournal of World Business160952
