Abstract

Organisations that have offices in more than one country face the challenges of managing access to information created and circulated in more than one language. Research into the challenges and potential solutions dates back only the mid-1980s but since then has accelerated rapidly and the topic is now regarded as an important aspect of international business management. This paper highlights some of the issues that need to be considered in developing and implementing corporate language policies. In the final analysis managing corporate language diversity is a classic ‘wicked problem’ and there are very few ‘good practices’ that have universal acceptance.
