Abstract:

This book draws on case studies of language management within British
organisations to examine the decisions they make about language diversity in
their professional communications in order to be successful in a multilingual
world. It explores the practices that the organisations use to manage language
diversity in interorganisational relationships, and why certain practices
occur in some situations and not others. The book highlights how organisations
rely on individual employees to perform a variety of language tasks and the
implications of this; the effect of English as a global lingua franca; and the
translation challenges which organisations face. The book demonstrates that
practices to manage language diversity are often a result of the resources
organisations have at given moments in time, rather than being part of a
deliberate language management strategy.
