peer agreement (net): +1controlled from the top Explanation: top-down managed (Prisma) run (controlled) from the top (Norstedts) The phrase is often used with negative connotations in Swedish, because the currently preferred organisational structure is "flat" and democratic. My first reference is "Svensk-Engelskt affärslexikon". Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-12 16:14:38 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- toppstyrning - control from the top (Svensk-engelskt affärslexikon) |
