involvement
Admittedly, ownership is used... and I guess it came to Danish as a "semantic import" from English, like so many other buzz words.
Of course, it may be the best translation to use it like that, but I do just consider every time whether my client and context can bear it, or whether something more traditional would suit the context better. I do not like it myself, and I know it annoys some target readers... It is not always clear what it means, or whether it is simply a buzz word.
Involvement, getting involved or commitment may fit just as well.
