I think it's unlikely that "leveraging" is used in this technical financial sense in the OP's sentence. I think it just means exploiting for the maximum advantage. |

"Leveraging a simple formula allow corporations to create new and more-lasting differentiation" |
What a poorly written sentence! Whoever wrote needs to have his wrist slapped. I'd like to see in context but going on what is written, then I ween:
First of all, you can't "leverage" a formula. In this case, it likely means "using". There is either something missing or there is a subject-verb clash. It should either be "a simple formula allowS" or "simple formulas allow".
And "more-lasting"? How about "longer lasting"? Differentiation means, more or less, distinctness.
So maybe rewrite it as: "Using a simple formula allows corporations to create new and longer lasting distinctness."
I hope that helps. |
