Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: Methods (se kontekst)
Navnet på en afdeling i en virksomhed. På samme måde som man f.eks. bruger Legal eller Finance for hhv. en juridisk afdeling og en økonomiafdeling. Men en metodeafdeling? Jeg kan se ved en søgning på Google, at det ikke er et helt ukendt begreb... Har I andre forslag? PFT!

metodeafdeling
Explanation:
"Metodeafdeling" is an established word. To use something else would be a quixotic deed.

Explanation:
Når man søger på metodeafdeling og læser, hvad der står om hver enkelt, ser det ud som om, de beskæftiger sig med udvikling og forbedring. Udviklingsafdeling giver rigtigt mange hits.
