Profitszerzés

Profitszerzés refers to the process of generating profit through business activities. In Hungarian economic discourse, it denotes the objective of turning revenue into net income by controlling costs and optimizing resources. It encompasses strategies for increasing revenue, reducing expenses, and managing assets efficiently to secure sustained profitability.

Common methods include expanding sales volume, improving pricing strategies, refining product or service mix, entering new markets, and differentiating offerings to enhance perceived value. On the cost side, firms pursue procurement efficiency, lean operations, automation, outsourcing, and productivity improvements. Financial management tools such as budgeting, cash flow planning, and capital allocation support profitszerzés. Selecting an appropriate mix of debt and equity, and managing working capital, can also influence net profitability.

Profitability is typically measured by metrics such as gross profit, operating profit (EBIT), and net profit, as well as margins (gross, operating, net) and return on investment. Break-even analysis, EBITDA, and cash conversion cycles are commonly used to assess profitability and operational efficiency.

While profitszerzés is a central aim of many organizations, pursuing profit must balance other considerations, including customer satisfaction, quality, long-term sustainability, ethics, and regulatory compliance. Market conditions, competition, and technological change can affect profitability, requiring ongoing evaluation and adaptation.
