定义:

When you delegate, you empower someone else to act for you. The act of delegation, then, involves conferring (some of) your functions or powers on another so he or she can act on your behalf.
当你分配工作的时候,就意味着你授权于他人代表你。而委派的同时,你也授予了你的地位和作用于代表你的人。

Delegation is a critical skill for small business success, however. No one can be good at everything, and running a small business involves so many different tasks and skills that some sort of division of labour becomes necessary for survival.
授予权力对于小型企业的发展具有关键作用。没有人是万能的,所以发展小型企业将会牵涉多种不同的任务和技能,以致对公司的生存发展在某种程度上来说是劳动力的分配。

Other ways you could divide the labour include getting a partner, hiring employees, and outsourcing. What’s the difference between delegation and outsourcing? Semantics, mainly. Outsourcing involves purchasing goods or subcontracting services from an outside company. The word isn’t freighted with the idea of giving up control. In practice, delegation and outsourcing are often indistinguishable.
其他分配的方式可以寻找生意伙伴,聘请员工或外包业务。那么委派与外包的区别在于那里,从句法上说,主要来说,外包包括从国外购买与分销产品和服务。不过这不等同于放弃对产品的控制。实际上,委派与外包业务常常是分不开的。

Common Misspellings: Delegaton, deligation.
