QS5 IBM Electronics has three divisions: P, Q and R. P is for upper class, exclusive segment. Q is for upper class, not so exclusive segment. R is for mass segment. They have different brand names and are sold through different distribution channels. IBM Electronics consider P, Q and R as separate divisions. The manufacturing lines are also divisionalized. But some components are common between them. IBM centrally buys some of these components and allows each of the divisions to specialize in the manufacture of particular components which are them not purchased from outside sources. These decisions to make these components are made for many complex reasons. From past records, it was noticed, Divisions P innovates in new products which are then incorporated by Divisions Q and R. conversely, Division R has a track record of excellent process innovations that reduce costs and these are picked up by P and Q.
Questions:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
- Should P, Q and R be profit centers? If yes, should they provide a bonus on their individual profits? If no how do we encourage them for improvement?
- What should the transfer price policy be between them for components or cost centers?
- Should central purchase costs be transferred to the divisions? If yes what should be the basis?

The SBU in New Semiconductor Product company was engaged in the design and manufacturing of special-purpose semiconductor assemblies called hybrids. This product involved mounting and interconnecting active and passive microelectronic components within a single, small package. At the time of the preparation of the 1990 strategic.plan, a decision was made to transfer responsibilities for these hybrids-to this SBU. The SBU then assumed responsibility for maintaining and expanding hybrid products. At mid-year, contacts with a major existing customer indicated possible interest in a very large quantity of hybrids for controlling small electric motors. The product manager became very interested in capitalizing on this opportunity to expand sales, consistent with-the new business unit responsibility. After exploratory conservations-with the customer, it became apparent to the product manger that capital investment of over $ 1 million would be required to procure the production equipment to meet these new production requirements. Since. this opportunity was not foreseen when the previous strategic plan_was revised, a strategic investment proposal was normally required.

The product manger used a series of informal channels to alert upper management to the possibility of this investment. She also prepared a preliminary version of the CEA for review, subject to refining the final details upon continuing conservations with the customer. In preparing this preliminary version of CEA, the product manager took care to ensure that the financial analysis was well supported and of high quality. In turn, upper management began to alert the CEO as opportunity presented itself. The proposal was considered highly attractive informal discussions at this stage because of the general reputation of the customer. Also, expansion of this product line was consistent with the new strategic charter of the business unit. Moreover, economic returns were promising.

included in the capital plan even though it was not included in the strategic plan prepared only a few months earlier. The actual investment was subject to the preparation and approval of the CEA.

It was signed by the president of the company one month after its preparation.
