distinctive capacity Explanation: vb. ". A $50,000 prize will be given annually to an artist whose work "explores and expands the distinctive capacity of the online medium," according to the competition organizers" "Business is not like that at all success in business derives from adding value of one’s own, not diminishing that of one’s competitors, and it is based on distinctive capability, not destructive capacity. Distinctive capacity becomes harder, not easier, to maintain as size increases (John Kay, 1990)." HTH, Serge L. Reference: http://www.morebusiness.com/getting_started/website/d9529177...

Good judgement/insight Explanation: Onderscheidend vermogen could mean 'distinctive quality' as Marijke suggests. But it could also mean 'the capacity to differentiate' as Alexander suggests. In that case I would translate it as 'good judgement' or 'good insight'. |
