the directorate of corporate development 公司发展处
Putting the most important aspects of the education directorate's work out to tender is an experiment.
I should also like to refer to the principle of interlocking directorates.
Each of the directorates is concerned with particular types of store.
Discussions on the structure and functions of the headquarters directorates are still continuing and the detailed information is not, therefore, available at this stage.
They would for the most part have to advocate economies and rationalisation or reductions in the importance and power of directorates.
I believe that there are still too many things which come out of the directorates with numbers above 20 which push forward their proposals.
Other directorates dispose of very substantial funds, such as structural funds and other types of money.
In addition, consideration will be given to market testing certain of the directorate's functions.
