English term or phrase: dealmaking
As Variety, a trade publication, noted in October, Mr Bewkes will in fact be the first real businessman to run Time Warner. Mr Parsons' skills were mainly diplomatic, and his predecessors, Gerald Levin and Steve Ross, were best known for ***dealmaking***. Mr Bewkes believes managers can be just as creative as writers and performers.

Wie würdet ihr hier "dealmaking" verstehen?
(a) viele Geschäfte zum Abschluss bringen? (Wie könnte man das übersetzen?)
(b) Kompromissfähigkeit?
(c) Verhandlungsgeschick?
(d) Eingehen neuer Partnerschaften (siehe http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1619254)?
