peer agreement (net): +1outsourceable Explanation: this is the human resources catchphrase for activities can you can pay to have someone ELSE do for you (ie in a developing country, for 1/2 (1/4?) the price!) ;) Here is one ref page for you, more in a sec: www.expresscomputeronline.com/.../technologylife04.shtml -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-10-20 13:55:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OK, as promised, here is a bit more info about "outsourceable activities" and la lingua italiana: The interesting thing about this particular term is that there is, as yet, no perfect equivalent in Italian, as traditionally, due to the particularities of the Italian employment system, outsourcing was used only rarely. Now, although the practice has become as widely used in Italy as it is in the rest of the world, the language has still not caught up with present reality, so often people just don't know what to use. Some use "esternalizazione" (although this has been branded as very clunky and not sufficiently clear), sometimes they go directly to English and use "outsourcing", but most often they just use "appalto" and then try to explain really well so that context will make things clear! My husband is an (Italian) attorney specializing in employment law, so this comes up fairly often!
