This Routledge Companion provides a timely and authoritative overview of cross‑cultural management as an academic domain and field of practice for academics and students.This second edition is organized into five thematic areas:• Review, Survey, and Critique• The New International Business Landscape• Language and Languages as Core Dimension of Cross‑Cultural Management• Cross‑Cultural Management and Migration• Cross‑Cultural Management Research: Evolving Paradigms.Edited by an international team of scholars and featuring contributions from a range of leading cross‑cultural management experts, this prestigious second edition represents the most comprehensive guide to the development and scope of cross‑cultural management as an academic discipline. It takes many advancements in the field into account, including language in management and migration, and provides perspectives from around the globe, offering a diverse array of viewpoints. While this volume retains the original edition’s commitment to paradigmatic diversity and broad coverage of contemporary themes in the field, it has been updated to reflect new developments, including societal changes, post‑andemic recovery, and virtual work, and increased interest in intersectionality in cross‑cultural management.

This book provides readers with the latest research on the dynamics of language and language diversity in professional contexts. Bringing together novel findings from a range of disciplines, it challenges practitioners and management scholars to question the conventional understanding of language as a tool that can be managed by language policies that ‘standardize’ language.Each of the contributions is designed to recognize the strides that have been made in the past two decades in research on language and languages in organizational settings while addressing remaining blind spots and emerging issues. Particular attention is given to multilingualism, sociolinguistic approaches to language in the workplace, migration challenges, critical perspectives on the power of language use and the management of organizations as dialogical, discursive spaces. Understanding the Dynamics of Language and Multilingualism in Professional Contexts offers new insights into familiar and less familiar issues for international business scholars, sociolinguists, management practitioners and business communication scholars and experts, and brings understanding to the central role that language usage and linguistic diversity play in organisational processes.
