Cost Cutting vs. Cost Take-out
While no clear defi nition between these two terms exists,
one could posit that the main distinction between
Cost Cutting and Cost Take-out is that the former is a
reactive, across-the-board, and usually indiscriminate
imposition of action; the colloquial “salami slice”
approach to sharing the burden. Conversely, the latter
is – or at least should be – proactive, targeted, and
strategic.
