Yearbook of Market Entry Advisory 2015
Communication in International Business
Companies from all industries and countries increasingly internationalize their activities. Besides geographical and cultural close countries, especially emerging markets in Asia, MENA and Latin America are major destinations. In contratry, also companies from emerging economies like China or India are becoming more and more important sources of FDI in industrialized countries like the US or Germany. However, going international is usually a big challenge for many firms: Language, cultural differences or market entry project management are only some of these challenges. The study Market Entry Advisory Monitor 2013 has shown that communication is still a major pitfall in international business. The ongoing globalization of markets and the available technologies facilitating quick and efficient communication at anytime seem to make communication in international business even more challenging. Therefore, the Yearbook of Market Entry Advisory 2015‘s guiding topic is Communication in International Business. This includes all kinds of competencies, strategies and technologies employed by multinational companies for their internal and external communication in international business.
The editors welcome scholary contributions as well as analytical contributions by practitioners focussing on communication activities of internationalizing or already internationally acting companies. This includes but is not limited to:
- Intercultural Communication
