English term or phrase: to make economic sense
L'exemple typique de la tournure anglaise évidente pour laquelle une périphrase française ne suffit même pas... Un peu de contexte:
"XX’s philosophy is to self-perform work in those areas that make economic sense for YY’s and where XX feel it will add value."
Je crois aussi que YY's est une erreur, ce devrait être YY...
Merci de vos suggestions!
