English translation: management of your tangible and intangible assets

Dutch term or phrase: assetmanagement en beheer
"De toegevoegde waarde van certificering richting de buitenwacht is vooral de aantoonbaarheid van een optimaal georganiseerd en daardoor continu verbeterend *assetmanagement en beheer* van uw fysieke bedrijfsmiddelen."

Dear all,

This term or these terms occur in a different, but related context. On the assumption that this should actually be written as "vermogensmanagement en -beheer", I have provisionally translated it as "asset and investment management". Feedback in the form of confirmation or correction would be appreciated. TIA.

Cheers,
R.

English translation:management of your tangible and intangible assets
Explanation:
Ik denk dat hier gedoeld wordt op het beheer van enerzijds de immateriële activa (zoals goodwill, merkwaarde, intellectuele eigendom etc.) en anderzijds de materiële activa (zoals gebouwen, voorraden, machines en overige inventaris).
Letterlijk dus: management of your intangible and tangible assets. Ik heb de volgorde in mijn antwoord omgedraaid omdat dit gebruikelijker is.

Wellicht ten overvloede: de vraagterm is eigenlijk onvolledig, en moet zijn 'assetmanagement en beheer van uw fysieke bedrijfsmiddelen'.

vermogensbeheer/asset management


Explanation:
'management' is an English word incorporated into the Dutch language, but the translation of it would be 'beheer'.

I would not put both words in the same sentence.

Let alone trying to put in a word like "investment" which is not what the text sais.
Just asset management fully covers the load.

neutral  freekfluweel: Well, the ST has put "management"and "beheer" in one sentence... Your opinion on that is irrelevant.

  -> so what would be your translation for management and beheer, freekfluweel?? You can comment, but you are not entering replies yourself.
agree  Marie-Helene Dubois: I would agree. Asset management is not Dutch, it is adopted from the English for 'vermogensbeheer' so I would personally leave it as 'asset management' since you can't say 'asset management & management'. Anything else would risk reading too much into it.

asset management and control


Explanation:
'beheer' can also mean control and I think that is the translation in this case.

disagree  Marie-Helene Dubois: control (English) is a false friend for controle (Dutch). No one would offer to control your assets and if they did, you most certainly wouldn't accept.

Management of your assets and operating resources


Explanation:
Ik zou het zo vertalen: "management of your assets and operating resources" als het inderdaad om fysieke middelen gaat, of "capital resources" als het financiële middelen betreft (zie JurEcLex).

agree  Kitty Brussaard: Eens met interpretatie, maar mijn voorkeur zou dan uitgaan naar '(...) assets and physical resources' of naar '(...) tangible and intangible assets' (zie mijn antwoord hieronder).

neutral  philgoddard: But operating resources ARE assets.

agree  Chris Hopley: Asset management refers to the management of financial assets (investments/wealth), so the source text could have read '... beheer van uw vermogen en uw fysieke bedrijfsmiddelen'.

neutral  Marie-Helene Dubois: This is reading more into the text than what is written.
