The focus of an enterprise that has a cost leadership strategy design factor is short-term cost minimization. A cost leadership strategy is a competitive strategy that aims to achieve lower costs than competitors by offering standardized products or services at low prices. A cost leadership strategy design factor affects how an enterprise designs its governance system, as it implies a focus on operational efficiency, process automation, economies of scale, outsourcing, etc. An enterprise that has a cost leadership strategy design factor would prioritize short-term cost minimization over long-term cost optimization or medium-term cost equalization.12 References: COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology, COBIT 2019 Design Guide: Designing an Information and Technology Governance Solution
