Abstract: | When executives want to boost profitability, their first target is often the company headcount, i.e, the number of employees. There is, however, a better way to find value. That is to bring increased discipline to the capital budgeting process for small items. Here's a framework for doing just that. In the article, there are also some included figures in brief on a couple of U.S. companies, that is, DuPont, Goodyear, Hasbro, Kodak, Motorola, Nike, and Whirlpool. |
