“…Critical contributions used the notion of "linguistic imperialism" to understand how language can be a hegemonic force shaping bodies of knowledge impacting on (management) knowledge workers themselves (Tietze & Dick, 2013). Thematically, the relationship between the English language as a dominant language over "other" languages has been researched, raising issues of dominance and the hierarchizing of relationships by language ability (Barner-Rasmussen & Aarnio, 2011;Heikkilä & Smale, 2011;Steyaert et al, 2011). Most recently, the field has begun to employ cultural and political models of translation to understand the transformation of meaning in global contexts (Janssens et al, 2004;Logemann & Piekkari, forthcoming;Piekkari, Welch, Welch, Peltonen, & Vesa, 2013).…”

“…Marschan-Piekkari, Welch & Welch, 1999b; and asymmetries in language fluency may contribute to the emergence of different organizational factions (Hinds, Neeley & Cramton, 2013). As language fluency often correlates with age, occupational position and organizational level (Barner-Rasmussen & Aarnio, 2011;Fredriksson, Barner-Rasmussen & Piekkari, 2007;Heikkilä & Smale, 2011), the effects of a shift in the language regime are unequally distributed.…”

“…Even the few studies that included a larger number of MNCs (e.g. Barner-Rasmussen & Aarnio, 2011;Harzing, Köster & Magner, 2011) focused only on specific language pairs, such as German and Japanese, or looked at just one home country language, such as Finnish.…”
