  • It might have been written by a native speaker, but it is far too long and complicated to make sense. It's not clear to me what i.e. reasonable refers to. I would advise breaking it down into two or three sentences. Commented Nov 8, 2020 at 15:37
  • Where did you find the sentence?

It could very well have been written by a native speaker (or a committee of native speakers) even though it is ungrammatical, pretentious, and indecipherable. A great deal of business prose is written like that, particularly sales literature. It is intended to sound profound, but ends up meaning nothing.

For example, "to ensure efficiency our business activities and the implementation of strategic directions of entrepreneurship" is an ungrammatical list of buzz words.
