(redirected from Effective margin)

em
In typography, a unit of measure equal to the width of the capital letter M in a particular font. The terms "em" and "en" are widely heard with regard to the dashes commonly found in typography, but which are not standard keyboard keys. An "em dash" (one em wide) is used to convey changes such as an abrupt break in thought, a digression or a change from one speaker to another. "En dashes" (width of letter N) are shorter and are used for ranges such as numbers and dates. Contrast with the hyphen, which is a regular text character used to separate telephone and account numbers.

Em and En Dashes in HTML
The mdash and ndash are the codes used to create em and en dashes on HTML pages, whereas the hyphen is a regular text character in HTML.

Across Europe the priority for coatings producers and their chemical suppliers is effective margin management so that the problems of decreasing sales and the necessity to make up for earlier rises in raw material costs do not cause drastic falls in profitability.
Interestingly, one of the major challenges to effective margins is that the employees within the firm often don't truly believe that their own services are worth what is being charged for them.
As a result of effective margin management, cost controls and a reduction of receivables, our strong cash flow has allowed us to rapidly de-lever our balance sheet.
