French term

des directions métier et informatique

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Context is a document about different forms of managing companies

this one is about an authoritarian form of management and im just not too sure about this phrase in the middle of the sentence -

specialist and computer senior teams?

dont think so

here is the complete sentence

Mode de management très largement directif vis-à-vis des directions métier et informatique qui sont souvent pilotées au travers d’une relation client / fournisseur


can anyone give me a translation
Change log

Discussion

Julie Barber Jan 5, 2010:
suggestion I would suggest that the two are unrelated - that they mean business units and at the level of IT. ie they manage downwards via the management of business units and also in relation to IT

agree Catharine Cellier-Smart : I prefer this answer. (But 'IT' is probably better than 'IS' if it's 'informatique' and not 'SI' in French).
