Abstract
This paper is based on an investigation which has utilised data collected from ten differentcase studies related to Hong Kong. Each case study deals with issues and challenges facingWestern expatriates residing in Hong Kong for the purposes of business. The interviewshave been analysed carefully and commonalities, in terms of challenges, have beenidentified and form the basis for building a heuristic model.The heuristic model can help Westerners determine their Challenge Index. They can alsoperform a what-if analysis by altering the weightings of the factors or compare theirsituation with other fellow expatriates. It is envisaged that further work and research toenhance this model will be carried out as part of ongoing research in this area.
