About this title

From the Back Cover

Wiley's English-German German-English Business Dictionary

This easy-to-use bilingual dictionary contains 16,000 business terms that are essential to today's global marketplace. By focusing on the words and phrases most frequently used in international business dealings, Wiley's English-German, German-English Business Dictionary is more practical and accessible than a standard reference.

To determine which words and phrases to include, the authors, native German speakers who have taught business German for more than twenty years, conducted a word frequency study at the American Graduate School of International Management (AGSIM). Their sources ranged from texts used in the teaching of international business to documents supplied by AGSIM alumni currently working in international business management, and the materials were divided into five categories: international economics, international banking and finance, international management, international marketing, and international accounting and statistics. American sources provided the English text samples so that German terminology would be translated into American, rather than British, English.

Two separate data banks—one English, one German—were then compiled to measure frequency of usage, and two criteria were established to select appropriate business terms: (1) words describing a concept, practice, procedure, or activity associated with the conduct of business; and (2) words that are mainly used in a general context but have a secondary meaning—and occur frequently—in business contexts. After translating both the English and the German, the authors combined their extensive lists into this unique dictionary. The result is an authoritative compendium of the words and phrases most important for today's businesspeople to understand.
