In today’s world, one word that every global organization chants is “Globalization”. What is globalization? In simple words, globalization is the process by which people, organizations and entities across the world interact in an integrated environment supported by technology.
Doesn’t it sound blissful? It would be great if people across the world could interact seamlessly for jobs, opportunities, programs or problems. This dates back to the times when countries used the barter system to share goods and services.
So if everything is so simple, then why do corporations across the world struggle to work in a globalized economy? The answer is simple. People come from different countries and culture and one primary issue that every person faces is ability to communicate with another effectively.
Communication has been the basis of globalization from the time people, companies or countries started interacting with each other. It is for this reason that companies across the world insist of effective communication. Communication in its true sense holds no barriers.
The need for effective communication is constantly stressed amongst employees of large companies. Today English has been widely accepted as the common language of business communication. With the growth of outsourcing market, the emphasis of cross border training has been significant. The investments made by large corporation on employee training and development have grown manifold. The nature of training provided to enable employees stand competitive in global economies has under gone a radical change.
For example – In the recent past, there has been tremendous emphasis on Personality Development courses such as Good Manners and Etiquette, Body language and postures, Telephone speaking skills etc.
These courses are primarily directed towards people from developing countries like India, Philippines, China and Korea. Is learning English truly global now?
