A Good Plan

Rakuten's all-English edict a bold move, but risky too

Internet shopping mall operator Rakuten Inc. will make English to be office language by 2010.President Hiroshi Mikitani though English was important to grow his company. He told that board members who can't speak English in two years will be fired. Then all meeting will be English.He wanted his employee use English to speak in the offife too. He changed many things in the office to be English. Also,Cafeteria menus are now in English.

I partly agree with Rakuten President Hiroshi Mikitani's move (to make English the company's official language by 2012).I agree with his plan to give employees a period to learn English and to fire those who can't speak it. I feel his zeal. I think he wants to change the atmosphere for employees and arouse their competitive spirit. English is important to use in every company. Many countries use English to contact the business so it is good to have employees proficient in English. Although this plan may risk to use ,but it can motivate the employees to improve their English skill.If it was succeeded, it will be good to the bussiness.
