Strategic Business Units (SBUs); profit centres Explanation: see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_business_unit "In business, a strategic business unit (SBU) is a profit center which focuses on product offering and market segment. SBUs typically have a discrete marketing plan, analysis of competition, and marketing campaign, even though they may be part of a larger business entity. An SBU may be a business unit within a larger corporation, or it may be a business into itself or a branch. Corporations may be composed of multiple SBUs, each of which is responsible for its own profitability. General Electric is an example of a company with this sort of business organization. SBUs are able to affect most factors which influence their performance. Managed as separate businesses, they are responsible to a parent corporation. General Electric has 49 SBUs." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2016-07-07 13:27:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- FELOnline: resultaatverantwoordelijke eenheid [vs budgetverantwoordelijke -] = strategic business unit [vs corporate department] budgetverantwoordelijke eenheid [vs resultaatverantwoordelijke eenheid] = corporate department [vs strategic business unit ] JurLex: resultaatverantwoordelijke eenheid; resultaatverantwoordelijke afdeling = profit centre resultaatverantwoordelijke manager = manager responsible for financial results |
