I am sure that what you say is very true for not a small amount of businesses.
My issue is mostly with my profession -- programming. Sometimes we are so micromanaged and our time is so sliced and diced that all of this short-term thinking easily gets 5x more expensive on a short time frame anywhere from 3 to 6 months.
This has been observed numerous times yet IT managers seem to want to never learn.
It's OK to try and save money. But saving money short-term in order to have a huge expense down the line is just being irresponsible from those managers.
