English

Subject field(s)
  • Translation (General)
DEF

Of or relating to a corporation or to corporations in general.

OBS

The adjective "corporate", traditionally associated with private enterprise, has also come to be used in the terminology of administration. Rather than referring to the "corporation" as a unified body, it is used to describe the more general aspects of administration or administrative units.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traduction (Généralités)
DEF

Relatif à une entreprise envisagée dans la totalité de ses éléments constitutifs.

OBS

En dehors de son sens général, l'adjectif «corporate», (de la société, de l'entreprise, de la compagnie) se rapporte traditionnellement à l'entreprise envisagée sous la totalité de ses éléments constitutifs. Cette notion a pénétré le vocabulaire de l'administration publique; on utilisera alors, selon les besoins : général, global, d'ensemble, intégral, ministériel.
