九州企業のグローバル化への対応と英語の重要性（福岡における英語を使用する企業の事例）

抄録

Kyushu’s proximity to other East Asian countries affords it the potential to be a gateway to other Asian countries and positions the region as a place to carry out international business. However, many Japanese companies face linguistic barriers. In particular, ability in English is a necessary condition for functioning as global talents. If companies do not address this issue, they are handicapped in global competition. The author presents a case study of a company headquartered in Fukuoka where English is spoken in order to examine the importance of English for the development of global talents.
