Bus/Financial - Human Resources / HRM | | Dutch term or phrase: de BV Nederland | | context: a benchmark of wage scales resulting in a certain level as a median (i.e. half of wages below, other half above this level) for the 'BV Nederland'. I think this should not be translated literally, perhaps as 'the Netherlands' in general. Any ideas? |

"Considering the sharp rise in the aging population, the shortage in the labor market, and especially the need for us to distinguish ourselves in the area of innovation, TopBrainstorm is convinced that the use of this talent is essential for the future of Netherlands Inc."

"Corporate Nederlands" is also used as a shorthand for Dutch business/the Dutch business community, as you say. See for example:
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/aug2002/neth-a12.shtml
But be careful: In this case the meaning is narrower. With "The Netherlands, Inc." the country as a whole is meant, as if it is a single large company/entity, whereas "corporate Netherlands" singles out and lumps together the business sector only. |
