Unreferenced date September 2007 In anti ballistic missile defence the cost exchange ratio is the ratio of the incremental cost to the aggressor of getting one additional warhead through the defence screen, divided by the incremental cost to the defender of offsetting the additional missile. In the early part of the Cold War , the cost exchange ratio favoured the defender, since the cost of missiles increases rapidly with size, and interceptors are generally much smaller than ballistic missiles. This gave a strong impetus to the development and deployment of anti ballistic missiles in the 1960s. However, the deployment of Multiple Independently Targetable Re entry Vehicles MIRV s required the defender to deploy multiple interceptors for each enemy missile, thus skewing the cost exchange ratio in favour of the aggressor. Consideration of cost exchange ratios was influential in persuading the United States and the Soviet Union to sign the ABM Treaty .

Activity based management ABM is a method of identifying and evaluating activities that a business performs using activity based costing to carry out a value chain analysis or a re engineering initiative to improve strategic and operational decisions in an organization. Activity based costing establishes relationships between Business process overhead overhead costs and activities so that overhead costs can be more precisely allocated to products, services, or customer segments. Activity based management focuses on managing activities to reduce costs and improve customer value. Kaplan and Cooper in Kaplan, R. S., & Cooper, R. 1998 . Cost and effect Using integrated cost systems to drive profitability and performance. Boston Harvard Business School Press. divide ABM into operational and strategic Operational ABM is about doing things right , using ABC information to improve efficiency. Those activities which add value to the product can be identified and improved. Activities that don t add value are the ones that need to be reduced to cut costs without reducing product value. Strategic ABM is about doing the right things , using ABC information to decide which products to develop and which activities to use. This can also be used for customer profitability analysis, identifying which customers are the most profitable and focusing on them more. A risk with ABM is that some activities have an implicit value, not necessarily reflected in a financial value added to any product. For instance a particularly pleasant workplace can help attract and retain the best staff, but may not be identified as adding value in operational ABM. A customer that represents a loss based on committed activities, but that opens up leads in a new market, may be identified as a low value customer by a strategic ABM process. Managers should interpret these values and use ABM as a common, yet neutral ... Accounting , 78 . ABM can give middle managers an understanding of costs to other teams to help ... more details
