Abstract

This chapter introduces translation approaches used in organization studies. The authors start by providing a brief overview of organization studies, including an explanation of its position vis-à-vis the English language. They also outline different approaches to translation, such as translation as organizational change, and as a metaphor for movement across the globe, as established by particular schools of thought within the broad field of organization studies. They then proceed to introduce three empirical studies that started to focus their inquiry on language plurality and the concomitant existence, use and function of interlingual translation. In what follows, they explore the benefits of including interlingual translation, understood as a language practice in multilingual contexts, in the intellectual project of organization studies. The authors conclude with an optimistic look into the future of translation as fully integrated into organization studies.
