GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations
German term or phrase: Arrangements
Innovation und gesellschaftlicher Wandel:
Brauchen wir neue *Arrangements* zwischen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft?

Now, the company has already translated this as "Will we need new arrangements between business and society?" but I'm doubtful. What is meant here by this neudeutsch word?

TIA,

Interaction, understanding and relationship would go nicely here. But I used relationship in the text. Thanks also to Cilian, but Harald was first, maybe.

Interaction


Explanation:
Understanding, rapport, modus vivendi are all notions that spring to mind. Basically what I feel is meant is that the relationship between society and the economy needs to be reharmonized. HTH
