Skills, Identity, and Power: The Multifaceted Concept of Language Diversity
Competencias, identidad y poder: las múltiples facetas del concepto de diversidad lingüística
Compétences, identité et pouvoir : les multiples facettes du concept de diversité linguistique
Résumé
The study of the multilingual character of multinational companies has grown into a legitimate field of research in international business. This paper provides a conceptualization of one of the central notions in this field: language diversity. We do this by relating of the notion of language diversity to the concept of diversity in three dimensions: variety, separation or disparity. Our theoretical contribution is illustrated and further elaborated through a case study of multilingual team collaboration in the software industry. This paper explores the theory-building potential of stronger connections between diversity scholarship and the language research stream in international business.
