ROI - A Major Drawback As division manager at Cola Company,
your compensation package includesa salary plus bonus based on your division’sROI -- the higher your ROI, the bigger your bonus.
The company requires an ROI of 20% on all new investments -- your division has been producing an ROI of 30%.
You have an opportunity to invest in a new project that will produce an ROI of 25%.
As division manager would you invest in this project?
