Business jargon explained in about 90 seconds: the real definition, where you will hear it, and the pop-culture version that makes it stick. Finance to Operations, all eight departments. Inventory turnover is a measure of how many times a business sells and replaces its stock over a period, usually a year. It is commonly calculated as cost of goods sold divided by average inventory. A higher number generally means stock moves quickly; a lower number means goods sit on shelves or in warehouses for longer. Depreciation is the accounting method of spreading the cost of a long-term asset, like a machine, vehicle or laptop, over the years it is expected to be useful. Instead of counting the full price as an expense when it is bought, a business records a portion each year, reflecting the value it uses up over time. Employer branding is how a company is seen as a place to work, and the deliberate effort to shape that reputation. It covers what the company promises employees, often written down as an employee value proposition (EVP), and how that promise shows up in job ads, social media, interviews, employee reviews and word of mouth.Corporate, translated.
