The book provides insights, description and analysis over the
knowledge production process within business, organization, and
management research. Importantly, it does so from a language and
translation perspective. It critically engages with the role of
English in this process and provides theoretical argument for the
need to include multilingualism in research. Translation is
investigated as a concept for future inquiry. The book is
expressive and formative of language-based research that is gaining
momentum in business, management, and organization research. It
offers conceptual innovation through a thorough treatment of
multilingualism and translation, having the potentiality to guide
future empirical and theoretical research, and to dispel hidden
hegemonic knowledge production practices. The readers will gain
insights into the current status quo of language-based inquiry,
discussions of multilingualism for research design and be informed
about the philosophical underpinnings of language-based research.
Specifically, the benefits include the review and summary of key
publications in this field, discussion and analysis of hidden
assumptions of knowledge production, a critical take on knowledge
production, an outline and discussion of implications of
multilingual research for research design and methods, discussion
of philosophical underpinnings and a vision for future research.
The book is an invaluable source for all research students whose
projects contain elements of multilingual research, whether
empirical or theoretical. Likewise, the growing body of researchers
who take a language-sensitive approach to their research may find
it as a source that 'pulls together' the current knowledge status
quo while offering discussions of future trajectories. The book is
extremely useful for the teaching of research methods in
undergraduate, postgraduate and also Master's or doctoral
programmes as many students are not native English speakers and are
directly confronted with the subject matter of the book.
