Many corporations have chosen English as their official language as a solution to the challenges of a multilingual corporate landscape. This policy choice can appear in several forms. 

Corporations may choose whether it applies for 

• internal or external communication,
• verbal or written communication, 
• or whether it applies to all employees in all departments in all situations.
