Abstract
Using the human resource development and international human resource management literature this
study examines the effects of international training on the development of human capital in a developing
country. A survey of 200 Saudi Arabian students studying internationally found that despite the
comparatively generous nature of funding and support while studying, the lack of pre-departure training
resulted in less than optimum outcomes as did the uncertainty associate with return from some
assignments. Developing human capital using sovereign wealth is a worthwhile objective for any country
but planning should understand the imperatives from many decades of research in international human
resource management.
