Over the last two decades, a growing literature has examined the emergence of a transnational business elite. However, the pathways of transnational mobility have not been fully characterized. In this article, we use a combination of sequence analysis and the concept of a career script to investigate the geographical mapping and organizational contexts in which transnational mobility occurs. To achieve this, we rely on a database of 186 executives from the 28 largest Swiss banks, as well as 20 interviews with chief human resource officers and 15 interviews with banking executives. Our findings contribute to relativize and differentiate the phenomenon of transnationalization of business elites by underlining the importance of the career context and by identifying distinct interpretations of international career resources according to different types of banks.

跨国商业精英的流动性如何？瑞士银行业高管的证据

在过去的二十年里，越来越多的文献研究了跨国商业精英的出现。然而，跨国流动的途径尚未得到充分表征。在本文中，我们结合序列分析和职业脚本的概念来研究跨国流动发生的地理映射和组织环境。为了实现这一目标，我们依赖于包含来自瑞士 28 家最大银行的 186 名高管的数据库，以及对首席人力资源官的 20 次采访和对银行高管的 15 次采访。我们的研究结果强调了职业背景的重要性，并根据不同类型的银行确定了对国际职业资源的不同解释，有助于使商业精英跨国化现象相对化和区分。
