Starting new projects requires a thorough cost analysis: spending free money on projects that do not yield the expected returns may result in negative financial results and lower operating efficiency of the company. Investments made without a serious analytical framework can also have a negative impact on investor relations. Potential investors are guided by analytics and calculations, so poor management of a company's finances can negatively impact investment inflows and a company's share price.
