IMPACT OF COST OPTIMIZATION ON ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED IN SELECTED CONSUMER PRODUCT COMPANIES
The Global Economic Meltdown severely affected the world economy, causing the corporate sector to experience significant drops in business volume and profitability. Facing intense pressure to create shareholder value, companies have been forced to re-examine their corporate strategies, particularly regarding cost management. While there is limited global research on value creation through cost optimization, such studies are non-existent in India. This gap motivated the researcher to conduct the present study in the consumer product sector. Five market leaders were selected, and cost and financial data from 2008 to 2012 were collected from their annual reports and other official records.
