Megatronics Corporation, a massive retailer of electronic products, is organized in four separate divisions. The four divisional managers are evaluated at year-end, and bonuses are awarded based on ROI. Last year, the company as a whole produced a 13 percent return on its investment. During the past week, management of the company's Western Division was approached about the possibility of buying a competitor that had decided to redirect its retail activities.
