Communication that Counts : Language Practice and Ideology in Globalized Accounting Hardback
by Pia Patricia P. Tenedero
Part of the Language at Work series
Hardback
Description
To date, communication research in accounting has largely focused on the competencies that define what constitutes ‘effective communication’.
Highly perception-based, skills-focused and Global North-centric, existing research tends to echo the skills deficit discourse which overemphasizes the role of the higher education system in developing students’ work-relevant communication skills.
This book investigates dominant views about communication and interrogates what shapes these views in the accounting field from a Global South perspective, exploring the idea of ‘good communication’ in the globalized accounting field.
Taking the occupational stereotype of shy employees who are good with numbers but bad with words as its starting point, this book examines language and communication practices and ideologies in accounting education and work in the Philippines.
As an emerging global leader in offshore accounting, the Philippines is an ideal context for an exploration of multilingual, multimodal and transnational workplace communication.
