Charlesp (asker) Sep 19, 2005:
perhaps the entire sentence would be helpful (as this is a general phrase and context is important)
"Flink til � fordele ansvar der det h�yrer hjemme. "
(I translate this as: "Good at assigning responsibility where it belongs."

Det hadde vært bedre med litt mer informasjon.
For. eks så kan frasen "hører ingnesteds hjemme" oversettes til make no sense. Den ovenevnte overførsel gir uttrkk for at frasen høyerer hjemme- har en betydning om tilhøre i eller til.

Det gikk litt for her. jeg gjentar:Det hadde vært bedre med litt mer informasjon.
For. eks så kan frasen "hører ingensteds hjemme" oversettes til make no sense. Den ovenevnte oversettelse gir uttrykk for at frasen høyrer hjemme- har en betydning som svarer til "tilhøre i eller til".

agree Dana Sackett Lössl : As you say, it all depends on the context. It might also be fitting/suitable

Norwegian term (edited): h�yrer hjemme

appropriate

Good at assigning responsibility where appropriate. I read this as good at delegating responsibility where such delegation is appropriate. I don't like 'where it belongs', as this could be construed as good at assigning responsibility to the right people for the job. On the other hand, this could be exactly what the writer meant to say. Incidentally, høyrer is New Norwegian, and hjemme is Book Norwegian - it should be 'høyrer heime' (NN) or 'hører hjemme' (BN).

as appropiate

In the context of this sentence, the English would be 'as appropiate', rather than 'where appropiate'. It has a degree of formality about it, suitable for a business context. As your other answerers suggest, it would be translated by other phrases in more informal contexts.
