Satzverständnis
"Economic conditions have caused many IT budgets to shrink, but ***the business won’t settle for a knock-on effect on IT performance – IT must deliver more with less."
Dies ist der Rahmen -
"Wirtschaftliche Bedingungen haben zu einer Redzierung vieler IT-Budgets geführt, aber ***------------- ? ------------- *** - der IT-Bereich muss mit weniger Aufwand mehr leisten."
aber mit ***------------- ? ------------- *** sehe ich nicht klar. Sowohl "settling for" als auch "knock-on effect" sind sehr schillernd.

s. Vorschlag
"Knock-on effect" = Folgewirkung
Ich würde hier nicht ganz so nah an der Vorlage bleiben. Mein Vorschlag:
"Wirtschaftliche Bedingungen haben die IT-Budgets schrumpfen lassen – jedoch ist für Unternehmen nicht akzeptabel, dass sich dies auf die Performance ihrer IT auswirkt. Der Bereich muss für weniger mehr leisten."
Oder auch: "– jedoch wird sich die Wirtschaft nicht damit zufrieden geben, dass..."
So oder ähnlich.
("Unternehmen" oder "Wirtschaft" für "business" im Allgemeinen. Geht's um eine bestimmte "Branche", kannst Du das ja entsprechend anpassen.)

Korrektur: "viele IT-Budgets" statt "die IT-Budgets"

| Danke! - Eine sehr schöne Lösung. - Ich bündele das, mit einer Anleihe aus der inzwischen zurückgezogenen anderen Antwort, zu - <b>"Wirtschaftliche Bedingungen haben viele IT-Budgets schrumpfen lassen, aber das darf die IT-Performance der Unternehmen nicht beeinträchtigen. - Die IT muss mit geringeren Mitteln mehr Leistung bringen."</b> |

Die Wörterbuchbedeutung von "to settle for" hilft mir allerdings nicht.
Ich hätte gern einen Vorschlag für die ganze Passage.
