本文探讨了国际转让中的象征资本。符号资本的概念被认为是职业资本开发和利用的关键。虽然使用国际会计仍然是全球性组织的一项关键战略，并被视为个人的职业优势，但缺乏试图探讨积累和利用从这种经验中获得的资本的研究。本文有助于当前的辩论，国际职业生涯的象征性资本的国际会计师事务所作为一个关键因素的研究。来自金融服务部门的案例研究的数据被用来探讨一些最近强调的实施和体验国际外派方案的挑战。提出了进一步探索的领域。
This paper explores the symbolic capital attributed to international assignments (IAs). The concept of symbolic capital has been proposed as pivotal in the development and utility of career capital. Although the use of IAs remains a key strategy for global organizations and has been posed as a career advantage for individuals, there is a lack of research which attempts to explore the accumulation and utilization of the capital acquired from such experiences. This paper contributes to the current debate on international careers by examining the symbolic capital of IAs as a key element in international careers. Data from a case study within the financial services sector are used to explore some of the recently highlighted challenges of implementing and experiencing international assignment programmes. Areas for further exploration are proposed.
