Manage costs before they occur
"Traditional cost cutting has always had a backward focus and created lots of negative reactions–both rational and irrational. In his new book, Jan Emblemsvag introduces a new forward looking life-cycle approach to cost management. Employing foresight instead of hindsight puts the focus on processes, uncertainty and risks, and future value creation.

"The author’s strong side–besides having a good holistic concept–is the ability to express himself accurately and clearly on very complicated and sophisticated theory. Managers, consultants, and others with interest in cost management will be enlightened and inspired by the book–and no doubt find it of great help in applying the methods and processes that are presented.

在成本发生之前管理成本
“传统的成本削减总是有一个落后的重点和创造了许多负面反应-理性和非理性。在他的新书中，Jan emgesvag引入了一种新的前瞻性的生命周期成本管理方法。采用前瞻性而不是事后诸葛亮把重点放在过程，不确定性和风险，以及未来的价值创造。
“作者的强项——除了有一个良好的整体概念之外——是在非常复杂和复杂的理论上准确而清晰地表达自己的能力。管理者、顾问和其他对成本管理感兴趣的人都会从这本书中得到启发和启发——毫无疑问，这本书对应用所介绍的方法和过程有很大的帮助。
