Talent Retention
The set of organisational strategies and practices aimed at keeping valued employees from leaving, including competitive compensation, career development opportunities, and a positive working environment. It is treated as a strategic priority in most organisations because losing experienced, high-performing employees carries significant direct and indirect costs.

Tender Offer
A public offer made directly to a company's shareholders to purchase their shares at a specified price, typically at a premium to the current market price, often used as a mechanism in hostile takeover attempts to bypass a resistant board of directors.
finance · intermediate
Terminal Value
The estimated value of a business or investment at the end of an explicit forecast period, representing all cash flows expected to occur beyond that point, typically calculated assuming a stable, perpetual growth rate. In many discounted cash flow valuations, the terminal value accounts for the large majority of the total estimated value, making its underlying assumptions especially consequential.
strategy · intro
Total Addressable Market
Also called: TAM
An estimate of the total revenue opportunity available for a product or service if a company achieved one hundred percent market share within its defined target market. It is commonly used in business plans and investor pitches, though estimates vary widely depending on how broadly or narrowly the target market is defined.
