Highly Qualified Migrants of First and Second Generation in German Multinational Corporations

The three distinct articles which form this paper-based dissertation focus on highly qualified migrants of the first and second generation and their experien-ces in terms of microaggressions cultural and language skills and the interre-lation between cultural identity and bridging skills. The articles expand existing migration knowledge by looking into the experiences of highly qualified mig-rants as research has focused more on the challenges and problematic integ-ration of low qualified migrants leading to a distorted and unbalanced picture of migrants. The articles not only concentrated on the highly skilled but also on their individual experiences and thus provide a more comprehensive insight into the realities of migration.
