KudoZ question not available

English translation: criteria weighting/ranking

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Kriterienausprägung
English translation:criteria weighting/ranking
Entered by: martach

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Economics / incentive systems
German term or phrase: Kriterienausprägung
I am stuck on the following diagram nugget:
Funktionsverlauf zwischen Kriterienausprägung und Anreizwerten: linear, progressive, degressiv

The "text" - a number of diagrams without any connective text - maps out the theory behind incentive systems.

I am blocking big time and could use help on both "Funktionsverlauf" and "Kriterienausprägung" ... have a feeling that these are fairly simple terms.

Thanks ...

Explanation:
Not 100% certain which term you'll need, but the general field is multi-criteria analysis/evaluation/decision-making. 'Funktionsverlauf' is 'function curve' showing the relationship between the different sets of values.

I agree with your classification of Economics questions under Social Sciences, too :-)
