For nearly three decades, English has been the lingua franca of cross-border business, yet studies on global language strategies have been scarce. Providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the high-tech giant Rakuten in the five years following its English mandate, this book explores how language shapes the ways in which employees in global organizations communicate and negotiate linguistic and cultural differences. Drawing on 650 interviews conducted across Rakuten's locations around the world, the book argues that an organization's lingua franca is the catalyst by which all employees become some kind of “expat”—detached from their native tongue or culture. Demonstrating that language can serve as the conduit for an unfamiliar culture, often in unexpected ways, the book uncovers how all organizations might integrate language effectively to tap into the promise of globalization.

Technology Sourcing

Chinese companies have actively expanded overseas. However, more and more companies, such as TCL, have found that technology sourcing cross-border M&A cost too much to threaten their survival, rather than achieving their goals. From reviewing previous literatures, we found that control, not the ownership, is the critical determinant. Control is the result of the bargaining power between the acquirer and the target company. Drawing on resources-based view, transaction cost theory and institutions theory, this paper reviews the influencing factors of bargaining power in the control and ownership, and proposes a model of control and ownership for Chinese enterprises technology sourcing cross-border M&A.

Local Cultures

The growing interaction between local cultures and international organisations suggests the need for peacebuilders to act strategically when trying to overcome cultural differences and build trust in societies long divided by bloody conflicts. This task is more difficult because the mental barriers that divide people and cultures are exacerbated by borders and walls. Through an analysis of the evolving role of the European Union (EU) in peacebuilding in the border region of Ireland, this forum contribution examines the potential of international organisations to enhance reconciliation by creating new cultural opportunities for cooperation. Existing scholarship focuses mainly on policy initiatives, strategies, directives and funding bodies, often failing to mention how theories are deployed by practitioners especially in the realm of cultural programmes.
