Sensitivity Analysis

A procedure in budgeting that uses incremental adjustments to parameters (such as price and sales) to test the effects on growth or company performance. Sensitivity analysis can help companies determine which parameters have the most effect on revenues. Though useful, sensitivity analysis is sometimes criticized because it deals with only parameter of change at a time, which is rarely the case in real markets.
