| Victoria Falls Flour Mill Company started many years ago producing a single product. It has grown to produce many diverse consumer products ranging from foods to paper goods. Currently, the corporation is barely making a profit, and the price of its stock has languished. Division managers have traditionally been incentivized with stock options and awards. However, management is evaluating a new bonus plan based on segment profits within each division.
