2) Corporate headquarters preferences, host country/subsidiary preferences, and language skills

Explanation:

It is not easy being an expatriate and many who have been through that experience are not satisfied with it. That is why successful expatriates are considered high value assets by the corporations. Many factors are involved in the expatriate selection process including:

the most important is the headquarters preferences since they will ultimately be the ones to decide which candidates to select the subsidiaries preferences since after the expatriate is selected,. he will go to work there, there is no such thing as a remote expatriate. Subsidiaries that have been operating for several years probably had previous expat experiences and they can contribute to the selection process. language and cultural barriers must be accounted for.
