I think besides cutting cost there are better ways to sustain your business. Trying too hard in cost cutting measure will not give much mileage. After all, you cannot make profit without proper investment. Surprisingly most people follow the short term strategy of cost cutting. Doing so, they might loose out on the opportunities of innovations which could provide a long term benefits for the organization.

Cutting unnecessary cost is a must. But, then it should be the rule followed in all weather condition and not just when the economy is going down-hill.

To sustain your Business, due importance should be given to Innovations which matters the most, add value to the products/offerings, focus on increasing productivity and ensure employees are working smarter (not by working harder to cover up for the employees recently laid-off, again this will not pay-off in the long run).
