German term

konzernweites fachliches Weisungsrecht

German to English Bus/Financial Organisational restructuring
Is a letter informing managers about a corporate group's new structure. I think that 'specialised authority' might be correct and I found hits on google but would like to check with those who are more familiar. TIA

Die neue Organisationsstruktur (Matrixorganisation) ist durch eine funktionale Gliederung mit regionaler Verantwortung gekennzeichnet. Nachdem in einem ersten Schritt durch die zu Beginn des Jahres erfolgte Erweiterung des Vorstandes direkte regionale Verantwortungsbereiche im Geschäftsbereich Zucker geschaffen wurden, werden nun in einem zweiten Schritt zum 1. März 2003 Konzernfunktionen eingeführt, die durch ein konzernweites fachliches Weisungsrecht (über Regionen und Bereiche hinweg) gekennzeichnet sind. Lediglich das Spezialitätengeschäft unterliegt einer überregionalen Bereichsverantwortung.

group-wide specialized functional authority

Konzern = concern or group, not corporation.
Weisungsrecht is a variation of Weisungbefugnis, which is defined by Zahn as "functional authority".
"fachlich" is most usually translated as specialized.

agree Ron Stelter : this is a good answer, too, particularly regarding the inclusion of "specialized"
