PANEL - Cost Efficiency versus Improved System Performance - can you have both? No one can hide from the incessant drive towards ever better cost efficiency – which translated means spending less money. But how do firms balance this against another objective, the pressure to gain competitive advantage with improved system performance – which suggests spending more money? This seems to be at least a contradiction and at best an area of great tension and discussion. This panel will explore and illuminate what that tension means in practice.
