Abstract

This chapter presents an innovative cost categorization model that can help understand costs in terms of their causes. The model incorporates categories that are now scattered in the literature, develops the categories more broadly, and connects with management control tools to monitor these costs. The model was applied in a Brazilian dairy company and made it possible for managers to discuss strategic aspects, hitherto not addressed in routine discussions. The model contributes to the literature by filling a gap in textbooks and contributes to practice by providing a cost categorization model, enabling the controller and finance professional to avoid arbitrary cost reductions, so common in times of crisis. However, they hinder the long-term performance of companies.
