GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Bus/Financial - Management / Industrial Plant management
English term or phrase: countermeasures
In a type of management analysis to find exact cause and consequence of a problem at workplace, correct countermeasure is the expected outcome.

In PRPM there are two suggestions:

1. langkah balas (in the field of history)

2. rawatan kejuruteraan (for engineering countermeasures - in the field of engineering)

Would really appreciate your kind opinion, whether in this case whether "rawatan" would be an accurate translation?

Is there a more specific term in management for countermeasure?

Thank you.

langkah balas
Explanation:

langkah balas is the correct translation. This translation is not only used for the fileld of history, but is also the general translation for this term.

rawatan is an engineering-specific translation, thus is not useable here.

tindakan balas is also not recommended, not even as a synonymous phrase/translation. In the business/management field, this term already has the established definition of reprisals/retaliations.
