Abstract:
The subject of research is the theoretical and methodological foundations of the process of managing the costs of the enterprise, especially the formation of efficiency indicators and their impact on the work of the enterprise in conditions of increased competition. The purpose of the study is to develop and form a methodology for managing the costs of the enterprise, as well as analysis of the enterprise taking into account the impact of current market conditions of goods and services. Research methods. The article uses general and special methods of research of economic processes, analysis of market conditions and functions and synthesis of processes aimed at improving the enterprise. Results of work. As a result of writing the article, it was found that one of the main components of enterprise cost management are performance indicators of the enterprise. The choice of cost management techniques and its implementation are the main part of the content of activities to improve the efficiency of the enterprise. In the management system, the strategy is considered as a long–term qualitatively certain direction of enterprise development, relating to the scope, means and forms of its activities, the system of relations within the enterprise, as well as the company’s position in the market of goods and services. If its goals determine what the company aspires to, what it seeks to get as a result of its activities, the cost management system answers the question of how, by what actions the company will be able to achieve its goals in a transformative economy that changes in a competitive economy. environment. This understanding of the cost management system eliminates certainty in the behavior of the enterprise, because such a system increases the efficiency of the enterprise, leaves freedom of choice in a competitive environment. Field of application of results. Economics and management of the national economy at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels, enterprise management, management, strategic management. Conclusions. As a result of the study, taking into account many additional factors and features of enterprises, we can conclude that the main factors influencing the efficiency of the enterprise are costs and cost management techniques. Enterprise cost management is a powerful tool to influence the company’s activities. In a market economy, the efficiency of the enterprise and the situation form an important component of the system of self–regulation. In general, the mechanism of cost management of the enterprise can be divided into two interacting parts. The first is related to the types, structure, magnitude and dynamics of changes in production costs. The second is related to the ways and rules of forming new and changing existing methods of managing production costs.

Abstract:
In an interview, Dr. Thier said he hopes to turn Massachusetts General into another kind of model: one that increases cost-efficiency without compromising basic research or patient care. "A way of life is changing," Dr. Thier asserted. Academic medical centers are being forced to rein in costs quickly, he contended, because of growing price- pressure from insurers, as well as the movement in Washington to enact healthcare legislation. Top teaching hospitals haven't conducted much cost-oriented research involving patients. Instead, the hospitals have concentrated on discovering fundamental medical techniques, often working at the molecular level. Research on treatment costs and effectiveness has been carried out mostly by schools of public health and by such think tanks as Rand Corp... Other big teaching hospitals are starting research on treatment costs and effectiveness, said George Lundberg, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "I expect such research to flourish with the pressures of health-system reform," he said. "Now that it's so much in the best interests of the largest health-delivery groups to discover the best ways to deliver maximum services for minimum cost," Dr. Lundberg added, "it's not at all surprising that such institutions will enter health-services research in a big way."

Abstract:
This study explored the influence of the governance cost on financial service efficiency in Nigeria. The recurrent collapse of reputable companies and banks due to agency problems have motivated this investigation. The study empirically sampled 40 financial service firms from the 50 firms registered on the stock market. The study adopted an ex-post-facto research design. Data was collected using secondary sources from the firms’ annual reports to determine the influence the governance cost has on Nigeria’s financial service efficiency for nine years (2012–2020). Also, the study utilized the Panel Tobit regression to test the hypothesis. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to ascertain the aggregate governance cost, and the proxies were directors’ fees, auditors’ fees, CEO compensation, and chairman fee. At the same time, financial service analysis was derived using the Input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique under the constant return to scale (CRS) assumption. Consequently, findings from the study show a significant and positive influence of governance costs on the efficiency of financial services. The study, therefore, concludes that the current governance cost of the sampled firms drives efficiency within the sampled firms, and increasing the governance cost, based on the reviews on corporate governance structures, will not harm the efficiency of financial services. However, the consistent increase over time will harm efficiency. Thus, the study recommends an internal balance on the pay structure within the financial services.

Abstract:
Production and trade performance of ginger in Karnataka - An economic analysis was carried out during 2020-21 in terms of in terms of profitability and resource use efficiency in ginger. Primary data were collected from 120 sample farmers of Shivamogga and Haveri districts. For analysis of data, applied cost concepts and Cobb-Douglas production function were employed. Total cost incurred were found to be Rs. 4,28,683.94/ha and Rs. 4,09,896.91/ha under Shivamogga and Haveri districts respectively, in case of Shivamogga district every cost i.e., Cost-A1, Cost-A2, Cost-B1, Cost-B2, Cost-C1 and Cost-C2 were more by 4.68, 3.37, 4.98, 3.60, 5.69 and 4.38 per cent, respectively than the Haveri district. The average per hectare yield of ginger under Shivamogga and Haveri districts was 545.03 and 513.14 respectively. The resource use efficiency has been determined by the Cobb-Douglas production function and R2 (0.8783) value clearly indicates that fitted Cobb-Douglas production model is more useful and best fitted to the data.

The results pass on that the wellspring of specialized inefficiency in Indian saving money industry exudes principally because of administrative underperformance in controlling the misuse of inputs underway process pursued by inability to work at ideal scale estimate. As it were, the deterioration of OTE into PTE and SE scores outline that the dimension of PTE on a normal is moderately better when contrasted with the OTE. It is intriguing to layout that banks from 1995-96 to 2012-13 are generally working at the profitable scale estimate. Be that as it may, then again, directors of various banks in different possessions are not ready to influence the utilization of restricted assets in the ideal extent to aside from PSBs. The reason might be the abnormal state of focus in the Indian managing an account part with contribution of around 90 percent of the residential activities in the Indian saving money industry. &nbsp;

Abstract:
This research aims to observe current inventory management applied by one of the medical equipment distributors specializing in eye health devices, and provide recommendations for an optimal inventory management system to achieve cost efficiency afterward. The method used in this research is quantitative, focusing on processing and analyzing numerical data obtained from the company to calculate safety stock and the number of orders. In addition, ABC classification is also used in data processing to group items based on their value. Items belonging to class A (having a value of 80% for the company) will be used in the data processing. The next step is to conduct forecasting simulations for demand forecasts. The results of the forecast will be used for calculating the safety stock and order quantity. The output from the results of data processing and analysis in this study shows 67 items included in class A, which will then be processed using Minitab software for forecasting. Based on comparing the four forecasting methods, the one with the lowest error value is Trend Analysis. If the company can apply the storage method according to the fixed-time period model calculation, there is a potential savings of US $ 717,133 or 63% of the total overstock

Abstract:
<em>This research examines the critical role of cost control in enhancing cost efficiency within construction projects, an industry known for its financial complexity and susceptibility to cost overruns. By evaluating a range of cost control methodologies, the study aims to determine which techniques are most effective in managing project budgets and minimizing financial deviations. The Relative Importance Index (RII) method was applied to rank key cost control factors based on expert survey responses from construction professionals. These factors include project manager competency, frequency of cost updates, team stability, and the use of forecasting tools. A comparative assessment of cost control models&mdash;such as Activity-Based Costing, Earned Value Management, and performance-based budgeting&mdash;was conducted to identify their relative effectiveness in practical scenarios. Furthermore, this study incorporates case analysis and data collected from real-world projects to validate theoretical models. Challenges in the implementation of cost control strategies, particularly in large-scale or government-funded projects, were identified, including organizational inertia and political interference. The findings emphasize the importance of strategic planning, stakeholder involvement, and continuous monitoring to achieve budget adherence and financial sustainability. This research provides valuable insights for project managers and policymakers seeking to optimize project delivery through efficient and context-specific cost control mechanisms.</em>

Abstract:
Purpose - Recent issues such as vessel enlargement, strengthening of environmental regulations, and port smartization are expected to increase costs and intensify competition in the port industry. In the new normal era, when external growth has reached its limit, the efficient operation of ports is becoming indispensable for achieving sustainable growth. This study aims to identify the determinants of inefficiency by examining the cost structure and efficiency of container terminals in Korea and furthermore propose the political implications to derive the maximization of efficiency.&#x0D; Design/methodology - This study estimates the cost function of container terminal operators and identifies the efficiency of container terminals using stochastic cost frontier (SCF) in the first stage. In the second step, the SCF results are compared with the data envelopment analysis (DEA). Last, this paper proposes efficiency determinants on container terminal operation to establish appropriate strategies. Out of the 29 container terminal operators in South Korea, 13 operators participated in the survey. The translog cost function was estimated utilizing a total of 116 observations collected over the 2007-2017 period.&#x0D; Findings - Empirical analysis shows that economies of scale exist in Korea’s container ports, which provides a rationale for the government’s policy to establish the global terminal operator by integrating small terminal operators to enhance competitiveness. In addition, as a result of the determinants analysis, container throughput, weight of direct employment costs, and labour cost share have positive effects on improving cost efficiency, while inefficiency increases as the length of quay increases. More specifically, cost efficiency improves as the proportion of direct employment costs to outsourcing service costs increases.&#x0D; Originality/value - This study contributes to analyzing the inefficiency factors of container terminals through efficiency analysis with respect to a cost function. In addition, this study proposes the practical and political implications, such as establishing a long-term manpower pool, the application of the hybrid liner terminal system, and the construction of a statistical data system, to improve the cost inefficiency of terminal operators.

Abstract:
This study examines the role of a bank’s cost efficiency and competition when creating liquidity. It also investigates the different abilities to create liquidity between conventional banks and Islamic banks. This study employs data from annual reports for 117 banks, including 103 conventional banks and 14 Islamic banks from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations 4 (ASEAN-4). Using the dynamic panel regression with the GMM system, this study finds that cost-efficient banks have a higher ability to create liquidity, while high banking competition deteriorates that ability. However, these effects decrease as banks manage their costs more efficiently. The findings imply that banks’ ability to create liquidity is impacted by their market power to win the competition. Additionally, this study found that Islamic banks create more liquidity than conventional banks. This phenomenon indicates that by being more focused on activities using on-balance sheet items, Islamic banks are spared from risky off-balance sheet commitments. Furthermore, efficient banks are more able to generate liquidity in competitive markets.

Abstract:
The article provides an analytical review of the achieved crop yields under irrigation in experimental and production conditions. For today, the best production experience in the use of irrigated land indicates that, subject to all agrotechnical requirements, the yield of early grain crops reaches 8-10 t / ha, corn - 10-14 t / ha, oilseeds - 4-6 t / ha, vegetable crops - over 60 t / ha, which is about 90% of their productivity achieved in the experiments of scientific institutions. The comparative assessment of grain production in different climatic zones of Ukraine for the period of the most intense climatic change shows that over the past thirty years, the share of grain production in the Steppe zone has decreased from 45 to 35% of the total in Ukraine. The analysis of service cost for the transportation of water for irrigation in the southern regions of Ukraine is given. It was revealed that, despite a unified standard method for calculating the cost of water transportation, its price varies significantly by operational units of the State Agency for Water Resources of Ukraine. The main factors of fluctuations in the cost and fees for the transportation services of water for irrigation are the budgetary funding level of operating organizations, providing these services, the number of water transfers, the volume of actual irrigation on irrigated lands, the share of irrigated areas in the service area.&#x0D; The economic assessment of irrigation efficiency when having different water and other technological costs, taking into account the depreciation of capital investments, indicates that having a water price of 4,0-5,0 UAH/m3, the gross profit from growing the most profitable field crops is 35-40 % higher than the efficiency in rainfed agriculture. At the cost of water is 3,0-3,5 UAH/m3 and the use of the production capacity of the inter-farm irrigation network by 60-70%, financial prerequisites will be created for the effective operation of these networks.

Abstract:
Using a recently developed taxonomy of hospital organizations, this paper estimates a stochastic frontier cost function to test for inefficiency differences among system hospitals having common strategic and/or structural characteristics. System hospitals that centralized around physician arrangements and insurance products display the smallest deviations from the least cost locus. This suggests efficiency benefits from organization of physician and insurance activities at the system level, with discretion over the array of service offerings left to individual members. Policymakers should be mindful of potential efficiency gains from hospital consolidations and be aware that common ownership alone may be too general a rubric for evaluating those gains usefully.

Abstract:
Contracting out for services is a controversial issue in public transit. Proponents argue that contracting always saves money in comparison with public operation, whereas critics respond that cost savings through contracting are overstated and come almost exclusively at the expense of labor. In order to determine the medium-term effectiveness of contracting out transit services, the impacts of contracting on the cost per vehicle-hour of fixed-route bus services are examined. A national sample of operators is studied, including some that contract out none of their routes, others that contract out all of their routes, and some that contract out a portion of their service. The effects of contracting on costs are examined for the years between 1989 and 1993. The findings show that bus services operated under contract are sometimes, but not always, less costly than directly operated services. A regression model is used to test the influence of a variety of factors on cost per vehicle-hour, and contracting is found not to be the most significant variable influencing operating costs. The findings indicate that vehicle and labor use have far more influence on cost-efficiency than either wages or contracting arrangement. It is concluded that cost-efficiency can be achieved in many different ways, depending upon local conditions, and contracting should not be assumed to be the most appropriate strategy in every situation.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to increase understanding on how co-locating in a multi-firm campus setting could be of value to healthcare organizations. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents a qualitative case study of two health campuses in Finland. The data comprises interviews with different organizations operating on the campuses, complemented by onsite observations, and analysis of archival data. Findings Based on the empirical analysis, the value of co-locating as perceived by the organizations operating on campus is grouped into four categories: connectivity, cost-efficiency, community and collaboration (or the “four Cs”). Research limitations/implications The study does not aim at statistical genaralizability but rather seeks to draw analytical generalizations based on identified empirical regularities. The developed value framework, the four Cs, contributes to current scholarly knowledge on location strategies. Practical implications Furthermore, the managerial implications of the four Cs entail a new twofold role for property management: the traditional facilitator role, which is suitable for delivering the two tangible values of connectivity and cost-efficiency, and the modern era integrator, a community builder that is able to deliver community and collaboration. Originality/value Previous literature on healthcare facilities has focused on the technical performance of the buildings, while previous literature on the collaborative value of co-location has studied mainly single-firm corporate campuses. This study uniquely explores the potential value of health campuses, where different private, public and third sector organizations co-locate.

Abstract:
The concept of cost efficiency has become tremendously popular in data envelopment analysis (DEA) as it serves to assess a decision-making unit (DMU) in terms of producing minimum-cost outputs. A large variety of precise and imprecise models have been put forward to measure cost efficiency for the DMUs which have a role in constructing the production possibility set; yet, there’s not an extensive literature on the cost efficiency (CE) measurement for sample DMUs (SDMUs). In an effort to remedy the shortcomings of current models, herein is introduced a generalized cost efficiency model that is capable of operating in a fuzzy environment-involving different types of fuzzy numbers-while preserving the Farrell’s decomposition of cost efficiency. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the present paper is the first to measure cost efficiency by using vectors. Ultimately, a useful example is provided to confirm the applicability of the proposed methods.

Abstract:
Abstract Foreign and larger banks in Croatia are generally considered to be more cost efficient compared with domestic and smaller banks. However, those views are often based on data from financial statements that can be misleading due to simultaneous consolidation process on the market and the existence of economies of scale. To contribute to the Croatian banking efficiency literature, we construct a panel of individual bank data for 1994-2014 period and conduct a frontier analysis to calculate bank specific X-efficiency. Our results suggest that efficiency scores depend on the cost definition as domestic and smaller banks are more efficient in managing administrative costs compared with foreign and larger banks but equally efficient in managing total costs. Results indicate that average bank relative efficiency increased on two occasions: one in the late 90s in the period of banking crisis and subsequent “market cleansing” and to a lesser extent in the period marked with financial crisis. Although the differences between bank cost efficiencies seem small, we conclude that the area is worth further research as significant gains in bank earnings could be achieved by increasing efficiency.
