Abstract
The case study described the difficulties of moving to a new country and culture from the perspective of the expatriate wife. Lisa, who was a good trailing spouse, is concerned about moving to China. Doubts about her identity and personal life goals, and her children's education and sociality. This paper argues about the impact the move to a new culture will have on a family and discusses how to prepare for it. For a successful assignment in China, she and her husband, Lachlane, have to prepare and the company has to support them before moving to China.
