Kostensenkungsprogramm
Ich bin mir über die Bedeutung des obigen Begriffs in *meinem konkreten* Kontext unsicher (eine Aufzählung der von einem Kostensenkungsprogramm eines international tätigen Konzerns erfassten Arten von Ausgaben/Aufwendungen). Zwar habe ich unter http://www.country-data.com/frd/cs/zaire/zr_glos.html für "parastatal" die Definition "semi-autonomous, quasi-governmental, state-owned enterprise" gefunden, aber irgendwie scheint's nicht ganz zu passen. Hier der Absatz:
3.0 EXPENDITURE TO BE INCLUDED IN SCOPE
All external operational and capital expenditure for Goods and Services that the BU should influence to reduce prices and reduce/avoid costs. This spend will include inter alia, inbound and outbound logistics, consultants, power, IT and, where appropriate, ***parastatal spend***. Until now, shipping and distribution costs (including tariffs and TC/RCs) have been generally excluded as these are seen as marketing responsibilities, but they should be considered for future inclusion as BUs take proactive steps to improve control of external expenditure."
BU = Business Unit, TC/RCs = Time Charters/Regional Charters (i.S.v. Zeit- und regionalen Frachtverträgen)

almost sounds like it might mean \"Schmiergelde\" in your specific context

\"payments to parastatal organizations\" isn\'t all that far-fetched, since tarifs are alluded to directly??

Comment: "Nach persönlicher Auskunft des Verfassers bezieht sich der Begriff auf von Konzerngesellschaften geleistete Zahlungen an staatliche bzw. halbstaatliche Unternehmen in Ländern, in denen die Wirtschaft bzw. bestimmte Sektoren noch nicht dereguliert/liberalisiert sind (z.B. im Versorgungssektor - Gas, Wasser, Strom usw.)."
