I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line," said Nancy Pelosi, manager of Nancy Pelosi, LLC's Office Products Division. "But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division's return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don't want any letdown." Nancy Pelosi, LLC is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROls.
