Cost Synergy

    0.04 sec.
Cost Synergy
In the context of mergers, cost synergy is the savings in operating costs expected after two companies, who compliment each other's strengths, join.

Notes:
The savings in operating costs usually come in the form of laying off employees. Often this term is used in press releases to add a politically correct spin to bad news.

For example, the CEO might say "While these reductions and closures are difficult actions to take because of the employees involved, I am confident that we will achieve at least $10 million of synergies as a result."
