einzubeziehen

Einzubeziehen is the infinitive form of the German verb einbeziehen, which means to include, incorporate, or take into account. The term refers to the act of bringing a person, factor, data, or element into a broader context such as a calculation, plan, or decision. The related noun forms are das Einbeziehen or die Einbeziehung, both referring to the act or process of including.

Etymology and meaning: einbeziehen combines the prefix ein- with beziehen (to draw in, involve). The sense is to bring something into a larger framework or consideration, often to ensure a more complete, accurate, or fair result. It is used in contexts ranging from business and science to public policy and everyday discourse.

Usage and constructions: Common patterns include etwas in etwas einbeziehen (to include something in something), Personen in den Prozess einbeziehen (to involve people in a process), and Daten, Faktoren oder Kriterien in eine Kalkulation oder Analyse einbeziehen. In many cases the verb appears with prepositional phrases such as in die Kalkulation, in die Analyse, in den Entscheidungsprozess.

Grammatical notes: Einbeziehen is a separable verb; in finite clauses its prefix may be separated (Wir beziehen die Stakeholder in die Entscheidung ein). In infinitive clauses or after adjectives such as wichtig or sinnvoll, die Form einzubeziehen (often written as einzubeziehen) is used, for example: Es ist wichtig, externe Daten in die Analyse einzubeziehen.

Synonyms and contrasts: Berücksichtigen, in Betracht ziehen, integrieren are close alternatives; einbeziehen emphasizes inclusion into a broader context, while absondern oder ausschließen denote exclusion.
