This research adopted a longitudinal view to examine past expatriate management studies conducted by Taiwanese researchers over 14 years, from 1989 to 2002. A thorough search from the 1989 pioneer paper onward has generated total 44 Master Theses and Doctor Dissertations in related field. Through descriptive and explanatory analyses of these 44 pieces of work, we unveiled three most frequently researched independent variable dimensions and two dependent variable dimensions. Results of this study provided a comprehensive understanding of relevant local research over the years, which may shed some light for future researchers to enrich this field of study. Eight suggestions including higher frequency of top managers' expatriate activities, and the integration between expatriation and international business strategy were also proposed.
