Abstract
During the past 15 years, research on language diversity and multilingualism in international business (IB) and international management has been burgeoning. Language has moved from being the ‘pariah’ of the 70s and 80s to a key area of concern for businesses that have become acutely aware of the significance of ‘efficient’ communication for the global marker. Companies have adopted a range of strategies in order to manage the growing diversity of languages. To this end, they have introduced one-language policies (typically but not always English), recruited speakers with ‘native competence’ in target languages, or they have started to work with external or internal translators or interpreters as well as other stakeholders in local networks. What is understood as ‘efficient’ in that context however and how much language strategies contribute to that effect is still open to debate.
