replication, expansion, growth Explanation: In the context of NGOs and development aid projects, I have often seen "démultiplication" referring to the replication or multiplication of projects... rather than one micro project growing into a large project, the same effect is achieved by replicating the micro project multiple times in different places. It may have roughly the same meaning here but, for businesses, "expansion" or "growth" may be more appropriate... Could either of these fit your context? Good Luck, Lara |

delegation / delegating (optimization) Explanation: Il s'agit de déléguer, de diviser, de répartir les tâches de façon à optimiser les ressources / le rendement, je crois. Example: High demultiplication reduces cutting effort. Other example : ... a process known as frequency division or demultiplication The following definition of "delegation" sheds an interesting light on the terme "démultiplication" : delegation In management, the process of assigning work to another, usually a subordinate. délégation n f Mode de répartition du travail consistant pour un supérieur hiérarchique à confier certains travaux, certaines fonctions ou certains domaines d'activité à un subordonné. Note : Lorsqu'elle est organisée de façon scientifique, la délégation permet une DÉMULTIPLICATION de l'efficacité et du potentiel d'un service. Pour cela il convient qu'elle ne résulte pas du seul débordement du supérieur et qu'elle ne consiste pas à transférer la responsabilité exclusivement en cas d'échec. SEE ALSO: scaling factor Syn. scale factor facteur de démultiplication n m Internet, GDT |
