2. Spend Management Spend Management describes the holistic analysis and monitoring of company activities regarding expenditures. Covering a broad range of spend functions, spend analysis and sourcing management, Spend Management in an enterprise is the comprehensive management of money in order to build products and services. As a result, Spend Management includes activities as wide ranging as supply chain management outsourcing, contract negotiation, and e-procurement.

3. Cost Reduction versus Revenue Generation. Because cost reduction will increase net income, companies often turn to Spend Management to facilitate cost reduction in hard economic times. This increase in net income may lead to greater earnings per share and ultimately a higher market value (higher market capitalization). In times with high stock market volatility, it has been shown that Spend Management can help stabilize EPS and thus stakeholder confidence. In fact, analysis has shown that an increase in revenue by $300 has a similar effect to cutting costs by $100. Spend Management can help companies avoid layoffs and product quality reductions, as it yields long term sustainable savings versus short-term tactical reductions - which have the potential to cut muscle, not just fat, from an organization
