Language Policies impact on business

[Siegel, Jason F.]

It seems like the other obvious place to look would be to consider 
references on language policies of businesses themselves, especially 
multinational corporations. There are a number of articles on this 
subject, generally in business journals rather than language journals. 
I'd be happy to provide references upon request, though it's little 
beyond what you can find in scholar.google.com.

Also, as a general reminder, don't forget that when you hit reply, you 
reply to the list, not the sender of the e-mail.
