Considering that many companies require CEO signoff for any risk/spend over $5MM, it is still a lot of money, and discretionary money to boot. Not saying it isn't something they should do. But it's still spend that is hard to quantify adding "back" to the bottom line. Personally, there is something to these little quick wins - it does add back to the bottom line - but not in a quantifiable manner.
