Synopsis

A PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

Practical, creative strategies and solutions for cutting costs­­without cutting people

In an age of cutting costs­­no matter the cost­­the unspoken contract between employer and employee has never been more tenuous. But while trimming payroll may be the easiest answer, it is often far from the best. A Manager's Guide to Creative Cost Cutting presents specific ways that companies can reduce costs without reducing staff, along with implementation plans and real-world case studies and examples. Concise and compelling, it shows today's leaders how to better leverage resources to control spiraling costs while creating a sounder, more stable work environment.

Featuring 101 techniques for executives to reduce expenses and expand profits, without disrupting workers' lives and deep-sixing morale, this unique and easy-to-read guidebook:

• Shows how to uncover hidden costs and then reduce or eliminate them
• Helps readers overcome 21 common cost-reduction prohibitors
• Highlights real-world examples, from Intel's unpaid leave to Goodyear's debt negotiation
