    John Dooley has been successful at Bio Sol in Ireland and has been offered a promotion to director of strategy in California, which would mean moving his family abroad again. While he enjoyed living in Boston in the 1980s, he moved back to Ireland when its economy boomed in the late 1990s. The promotion would boost his career but uproot his family, so he must decide whether to commit to his country or company.

    John Dooley, Bio Sol’s vice-president of strategic research, has been making a name for himself at the

    biotechnology company's offices in Ireland. He's been doing so well, in fact, that the firm has offered him
    a promotion to director of strategy at headquarters--in California. He's lived abroad before. In the 1980s,
    making a living in Ireland was tough: Jobs were scarce and unemployment was high. So, John and his
    wife, Fiona, moved to Massachusetts, where John attended MIT. They were not alone; many of their
    friends and family members also moved out of Ireland then. John and Fiona enjoyed their time in Boston;
    they became active in a large expatriate community and established reputations in their professional fields.
    By 1999, however, the Celtic Tiger was running at full speed. The Irish economy was booming and the
    whole country seemed to be bursting with possibility. When John was offered a job at Bio Sol’s Dublin
    subsidiary, he and Fiona moved home and never looked back--until now. The new promotion would give
    his career a huge boost, but accepting it would mean uprooting his family and becoming an expat again.
    Ireland's economy is going strong now, but what if it doesn't last? Should John cast his lot with his country
    or his company? Commenting on this fictional case study in R0511A and R0511Z are Raj Kondor, the
    CEO of Nirvana Business Solutions in Bangalore, India; James Citron, a senior director at Spencer Stuart
    in Stamford, Connecticut; Maurice Treacy, the director of biotechnology at Science Foundation Ireland in
    Dublin; Arno Hansberger, who teaches HR management at Webster University Vienna in Austria; and
    Sharman Essayer, also in Vienna, editor of the annual report of the Organization for Security and Co-
    Operation in Europe.
