Abstract Multinational enterprises employ expatriates to perform foreign assignments in host countries. Expatriates face several challenges when they work in foreign nations due to a need for more proficiency in the local language and communication issues. The effectiveness of MNCs mainly depends on expatriates' performance. There are several Chinese expatriates in Myanmar, and cultural differences can create challenges. This study focuses on analyzing the impact of cross-cultural training on expatriates' assignments using qualitative research methods. Data are collected using interviews and analyzed by content analysis method. The findings show that language problem is a critical issue for all expatriates, and providing cross-cultural training, including language and cultural orientation, can lead to adapting to the host country's culture and developing positive communication with local people. This study suggests providing cross-cultural training for expatriates' effective performance.
