Abstract
This conceptual article offers an interdisciplinary journey from Edward T. Hall to François Jullien, from context to language, and from Europe to China. We focus on international business research where studies must seriously consider language to establish a real intercultural dialogue. In a next step, we turn to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to highlight the ethical issue of translation. Lastly, in line with Jullien’s intercultural approach, we invite scholars in international management to go beyond an implicit Western ethnocentrism based on the concept of identity in order to foster in-context management based on the concept of resource.

Résumé
Cet article conceptuel propose un parcours interdisciplinaire de Edward T. Hall à François Jullien, entre contexte et langue, Europe et Chine. Nous soulignons que les recherches en management international devraient sérieusement considérer la langue pour établir un véritable dialogue interculturel. Nous examinons ensuite la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme pour souligner la question éthique de la traduction. Enfin, en accord avec l’approche interculturelle de François Jullien, nous invitons les chercheurs en management international à aller au-delà d’un ethnocentrisme occidental implicite basé sur le concept d’identité pour favoriser un management en contexte basé sur le concept de ressource.
