Abstract
Since the beginning of globalization and the development of subsidiaries all over the World, the expatriate has become an element of security to protect the interests of the company abroad. However the expatriates are now facing several problems of adaptation with the external environment and the local people they live with. These problems produce a vicious cycle which can destroy the reputation, and finance of a company in the local environment. This case study highlights the difficulties faced by American expatriates in a Luxury Resort in the Caribbean islands. According to Hofstede, cultural differences can have a huge impact on the performance of a worker, especially in a relatively small environment. The Management of the company needs to formulate a program to train their expatriates, and set up a strict organization to reduce management problems and increase the commitment of its employees.
