Performance incentives in activity-based management

Authors

The instructional case at hand addresses problems of managing customer profitability at a catalogue-based retailer. The case study discusses how lacking customer profitability can be gradually improved through several measures. These extend also to the transfer pricing system in the company. Students are asked to rewrite the bonus contracts of key personnel to implement the changes. The questions are open-ended and thereby allow for ample and detailed discussion in class.
