Abstract:
A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or
resource. A number of language policy researchers have discussed
language needs of business, while nearly all of the scant literature
on what a corporate language policy would look like has been conducted
by human resource management scholars and published in management
journals. This lack of attention in the academic literature is
surprising, since corporate language policy (presumably) affects
everyone who works or will work in a corporation. From a language
management theory perspective, "language" presents particular
resources and challenges in multilingual organisations, such as how to
reconcile power implications of language choice with organisational
need for effective communication. In order for an international
organisation to have an effective language management policy, it must
carefully consider its linguistic needs and be able to develop and
capture the linguistic knowledge of its employees to surmount
communication barriers. Language management as a form of knowledge
management is proposed and recommendations are made with regard to
language management practices.
