This paper extends intelligent career theory to integrate the knowing - what, where and when elements with the established knowing- how, who and why aspects. We theorize the interrelationship between the six ways of knowing based on empirical evidence of expatriation from an Eastern to a Western context, thus extending Parker et al.’s (2009) conceptualization. We propose a further nine bi-directional linkages, mapping the reciprocal relationships between the ways of knowing. Empirical data is used to illustrate and interpret these inter-relationships. We conclude with suggestions practical application of the model and identify future research opportunities.
