Marketing / SAP Marketing
English term or phrase: side bets
Das ist aus einem Marketingbuch für IT-Leute.

The ideal situation is one in which the focus on fundamentals keeps improving the general condition of a company’s architecture and the side bets, the work done to provide flexibility to prepare for specific problems, actually turn out favorably.

oder in diesem Satz:

Make modest side bets to support future needs

German translation:Nebenaktivitäten
Explanation:
"problem-/projektbezogene Nebenaktivitäten erbringen Zusatznutzen/zusätzlichen Gewinn [stellen sich als günstig für das Unternehmen heraus]" (oder so ähnlich...)

Bei Svens Antwort müsste der Plural übrigens korrekt "Nebengeschäfte" lauten.
