Developing Proficiency in English Language and Embarking on the Journey of Global Entrepreneurship: A Pathway to Achieving Success

Abstract

This systematic review explores the complex connection between global entrepreneurship as a means of attaining success and English language proficiency. It emphasizes the importance of English as a worldwide language and how it helps facilitate global communication. English proficiency is becoming increasingly important for success because of the continued internationalization of trade, the globalization of markets, and the convergence of professionals from different linguistic backgrounds. The review delves into how English language competency affects entrepreneurs, including cultural adaptation, negotiating across borders, and managing the intricacies of international marketplaces. A comprehensive exploration of academic databases and scholarly repositories was undertaken to execute this systematic review. Utilizing search engines such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Scopus, the aim was to identify academic papers and peer-reviewed studies published from 2014 to 2023. A thorough systematic review process is described in the methodology section, along with methods for searching the literature, inclusion and exclusion criteria, research selection, quality evaluation, data extraction, and synthesis. Fifteen research papers that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were found, all of which examined the connection between business performance and language competency. All these research results add up to a thorough knowledge of how important it is to speak English fluently to succeed in the global entrepreneurial scene. The review recommends future research on the impact of technology on English competency for entrepreneurs, the efficacy of new language skill approaches, challenges in multilingual settings for business owners, and the role of linguistic ability and cultural intelligence in entrepreneurial success.
