The impact of economic crisis on cost structure configuration
The objective of this study is to examine the impact of economic crisis on cost structure configuration of companies. For this reason, an empirical study in the form of online survey has been carried out in 82 Greek manufacturing companies. We received data from two periods of great economic recession, namely during fall of 2013 and spring of 2015. Results indicated that companies most affected by the economic crisis, replaced fixed costs with variable ones. Cost structure configuration is the “tool” that companies used to limit the consequences of the crisis in their profitability.
