Originating within corporate learning and development circles, Business acumen is a concept pertaining to a person's knowledge and ability to make profitable business decisions. Despite a lack of consensus on an exact definition, business acumen is often closely linked with the fields of behavioral economics and financial literacy.

Legyen választék... Szerintem az előző válaszok is jók.

Az én környezetemben többnyire így szokott ez fordítódni. A "business acumen" esetében talán jobban hangzik (üzleti rátermettség), de érdemesnek tartom ezt a lehetőséget is megemlíteni.

A mondatban:
Pénzügyi rátermettséggel cselekszik (rátermettség helyett más szimpatikus kif. is alkalmazható :))

financial acumen -> pénzügyi jártasság

Az acumen nemcsak képesség, rálátás, hanem tudás, ismeret és gyakorlat egyszerre. Szerintem a jártasság pont jó: pénzügyi jártasság.

Financial Acumen
Posted on July 5th, 2006 by Amy

You cannot assume that staff members know, understand, or care about the financial information and metrics used by your organization. All too often individuals are promoted to positions with little knowledge of basic financial terminology or, more importantly, what it means for their work.

Why is financial acumen important to everyone in the organization? You may find that by providing some basic training with regards to financials, your staff, and subsequently the organization, may perform better. People can feel a better sense of ownership when they understand and can be held accountable to the bottom line for a program, campaign, etc.

Investing in the financial education of your staff at all levels can help ensure better financial success. It also provides a great accountability tool for all staff members and gives them a greater sense of value to the organization.

What is Financial Acumen?

Financial acumen is an understanding of what the financial data means and how to act on it. To go beyond running your business on instinct and intuition, it is essential to understand how ‘the numbers’ drive your organisation. Financial acumen training assists employees in making better decisions which increases efficiency and effectiveness of operations and in turn improves the organisation’s performance

Ez egyébként ismét egy olyan kifejezés, amit nem szabad különvenni: nem financial és acumen, hanem "financial acumen"'. Az összes "financial acumen"-nel foglalkozó link megemlíti, hogy ezt meg lehet tanulni: "traningek" vannak. Ez nem lehet simán érzék vagy éleslátás, mert a cégek nem fizetnének ki többszázezer dollárt a a munkavállalóik "financial acumen" képzésre, ha itt csak a született pénzügyi "zsenikről" lenne szó. Márpedig a cégek pont ilyen financial acumen programokat tartanak a munkavállalóiknak (nem csak a tehetségeseknek, hanem mindenkinek), sőt diákoknak is: az interneten rengeteg ilyen programot lehet olvasni. Tehát logikailag kizárja szerintem a kettő, itt nem veleszületett adottságról van szó, hanem a rálátás, ismeret és gyakorlat kombinációjáról.
