How to use "Uneconomical" in context?
One of the most important aspects of good financial management is to be able to determine when an expenditure is uneconomical. This is often a difficult task, given that different people often have different opinions about what is or is not "worth it." There are a few key factors to consider when making this determination.
The first is whether the expenditure actually results in a benefit. If the benefit is purely monetary, then the expenditure is likely to be uneconomical. Conversely, if the benefit is something that cannot be easily monetized, such as achieving a strategic goal or improving employee productivity, the expenditure is likely to be more economical.
