Two years ago it was "IP." Now it's "SKU."

What other business-related acronyms will GAF learn and misappropriate next?

I vote for POP. Or FIFO.

 

[bitwise]

GIGO. the absolute classic.

 

[Drexon]

I say FUTA, since it sounds like... that other word, but means something entirely different.

[Zaptruder]

Ok, so what do all these acronyms actually mean?

SKU is stock keeping unit... in otherwords a box with stuff in it sold as a whole.

FIFO is first in first out.

IP is intellectual property, or internet protocol...

 

[Doom_Bringer]

LIFO

 

[Mallrat83]

what does SKU stand for anyway?

 

[Propagandhim]

what does SKU stand for anyway?

SKU = Stock Keeping Unit. 2 SKUs for Xbox meaning two different types of units - Core and Xbox 360.

You can get the basic package that lets you become a member, or you can buy the premium membership which grants you avatar usage. Only $10 more.

Yeah you just actually can paypal it to me, and I'll take care of it for you.

 

[D2M15]

Now that's thinking outside the box.

Can we park this idea for a moment? I've got a paradigm shift I'm wanting to run up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes.

 

[Rhindle]

Haha. You're all at least 5 years behind the curve on your buzzwords.

I hadn't heard the term "paradigm shift" in at least three years before Iwata discovered it. :lol

 

[Zaptruder]

what does SKU stand for anyway?

Geez. I posted the explanation above and called for others to explain other acronyms.

 

[GhaleonEB]

PPV

Oh, they've been shifting paradigms in this biz ever since they found out you could do it with hardware scrolling.

 

[Propagandhim]

Neato, i should probably sign up.

 

[Propagandhim]

Was that an Xbox 360 joke?

 

[demi]

Was that an Xbox 360 joke?

For $10 more, I'll tell you.

 

[Blackbird]

For $10 more, I'll tell you.

you didn't say 'please', $10 fine to be paid to me please.

my guess is 'GAF'

 

[FortNinety]

I can't belive some idiotic term I had to use from my retail days and grew sick of is now alive and well on the GAF. Thanks everyone.

I guess we could all say "pack" for yours and kobun's benefit, but "sku" saves us a letter

 

[Geek]

I was really hoping SKUgate would take off.

No traction yet, though. Need to do a deep dive GAF analysis.

 

[sonycowboy]

Two years ago it was "IP." Now it's "SKU."

What other business-related acronyms will GAF learn and misappropriate next?

I vote for POP. Or FIFO.

POS ( a favorite - point of sale )

Margin (90% of people don't understand the concept of a 50% margin meaning they doubled the cost)

Outstanding Debt

Operating Profit

Segmented Market

Scale of Economy

Retail Calendar ( I <3 )

BTW, there are over 10 Gamecube skus that have been used, with multiples at one time. It's being completely misused as different colors can have different skus. The issue here is one of configuations.
