Englisch term (edited): mobicentric managers

I have a feeling the term may have never been translated before, but there's always a first time. :)

It seems to be a rare term but not a hoax, assuming you spell it with an i rather than a y.

Today's job-hopping executive values motion not because it leads to change but because it is change. More and more, however, he is the one who reaches the top rather than the plodding insider. This article is about the mobicentric man who is replacing the insider and the organization man. The learning curve for management skills is such that 80 percent of virtually any job can be learned in 20 percent of the time it would take to learn the job perfectly. What most corporations want in a future executive these days is a bachelor's in science or engineering and a master's in business administration. More and more men who become presidents do so after joining the corporation at a high level rather than working their way up through the ranks at one company. Upon arrival, a mobile manager assesses the demands of his new position and aims to do the most important part of the job. Many managers know that the best way to get a promotion is to train a good replacement.

People migrate for many reasons, obviously to look for better economic opportunities, but also to escape from war, persecution, violence and disasters.However, there is an additional dimension: could it be that certain people are predisposed to migratory behaviour? Jennings (1970), for example, introduced the term "mobicentric man" to describe the behaviour of individuals who valuemotion and action very highly and who are constantly "on the move."
