Marketing - Marketing / Market Research | | German term or phrase: abschleusen | I am translating a PowerPoint Presentation dealing with business/marketing strategy and have run across the following expression: "Definieren und Abschleusen von Altwaren"
My instincts tell me that it has to do with "getting rid" of said "Altwaren". I would appreciate any insight and light that can be shed on the matter.
Many thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Allan F. Wier II |
