neutral  Reino Havbrandt (X): Nedlagda barile: "Observera att just befattningarna Senior Vice President eller Vice President aldrig bör skrivas utan någon form av markering (som ovan med kursiv text), eftersom man då på svenska kan läsa ut det som vicepresident."

Explanation:
Jag håller med om förklaringen av förkortningarna, men om man vill översätta till svenska titlar blir det knepigare eftersom engelskan har mycket fler titlar att välja bland. Ibland lämnas titlarna på engelska just på grund av detta.

Explanation:
Barile:
"Senior Vice President, Vice President & General Manager

Inte utan grund kan man faktiskt påstå att det råder inflation i amerikanska företag när det gäller utdelning av Senior Vice President- och Vice President-titlar. Detta ställer till översättningsproblem eftersom Vice President rakt översatt betyder vice VD. En svensk vice VD har emellertid ett reglerat ansvar enligt den svenska aktiebolagslagen och motsvarigheten till denna befattning i USA är Executive Vice President. Jämfört med svenska företag brukar därför en Senior Vice President eller Vice President kunna likställas med en direktör av något slag, exempelvis en ekonomi- eller marknadsdirektör."
