Most terms in this Glossary were selected for one of three reasons:
| |
• |
An important technical term (or has a special, precise definition) within advanced management-science or one of the disciplines we frequently use, so not easy to find in a standard dictionary
|
| |
|
|
| |
• |
To emphasize a particular meaning or sense of a term that is important for our work |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
A few other terms that are not very familiar, but used quite a bit in our writing |
We apologize for being unable to write everything on the website without resorting to such terms, but this is the fate of every discipline that aspires to precision. We try to keep such terms to a bare minimum, as well as to avoid popularized “business bingo” and debased coinage. |
