jointly / in concert / decisions are made on the basis of consensus Explanation: These might be some options. A bit of rephrasing will be necessary; what's implied is that all decisions are being made cooperatively and jointly be the operative unit and the business department. I'd try and use s.th. like jointly or in concert, in cooperation to indicate that decisions are being discussed and are based on consensus (but that the final decision rests with the group). Schulterschluss (der; -es; das Zusammenhalten [von Interessengruppen u. a.]), (c) Dudenverlag. Schulterschluss m closing of ranks. (c) Langenscheidt. HTH Lexirom |
