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. 3, record 1, English, - corporate

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. 4, record 1, French, - collectif
