Abstract: | This article investigates the use of foreign languages in qualitative interviewing, an issue previously regarded as a mere technical consideration and largely neglected in the monolingual, English-dominated environment of international business research. The authors offer a holistic view of foreign language use based on the experiences of 34 scholard from different countries. The findings show the multiple decisions that reseachers make about language use, and their effects on data accuracy and authenticity, rapport-building and the construction of shared understanding. |
