Cost Management

Close cooperation with real-life companies guarantees the practical relevancy of research findings and at the same time helps identify new and interesting research questions. Practical research work based on industrial needs provides new and interesting information for the scientific community as well.

The Cost Management Center (CMC) is a research group at Tampere University, Industrial Engineering and Management unit. Our CMC’s core competence is in the field of management accounting, especially in analyzing costs and profits. We improve the competitiveness and profitability of organizations using the means and tools of accounting and business analytics. In addition, the team supports decision-making and business impact considerations regarding energy and sustainability, such as in the current Black Carbon Footprint project.
