peer agreement (net): +1savings on personnel numbers Explanation: This is how I read it, although more context would definitely help. I don't think this is the "digital economy" here. |

1 hr confidence:
economy of scale Explanation: Like the first poster suggested, "economia numerica" could mean digital economy/e-commerce and the French use "economie numerique" for just this but it make no sense. Can we imagine the original author actually meant something more along the lines of "economy of scale" and just didn't use the appropriate Italian? There are also terms like "economy of numbers" and "economy of scope" that are tossed around in similar situations and I think the common usage starts to drift away from the definitions taught in Economics class. |

"Numbers economy" Explanation: I read the whole phrase as follows but HR is not my field: "The determining value of human resource necessitates an optimisation of its workload with consequent numbers economy of the same and therefore adequate/appropriate lookup tables." |
