Performance Measurement in Decentralized Organizations
Chapter 11

Decentralization in Organizations
Benefits of
Decentralization
Top management
freed to concentrate
on strategy.
Lower-level decisions
often based on
better information.
Lower level managers can respond quickly to customers.
Lower-level managers
gain experience in
decision-making.
Decision-making
authority leads to
job satisfaction.
11-*
Decentralization in Organizations
Disadvantages of
Decentralization
Lower-level managers
may make decisions
without seeing the
“big picture.”
May be a lack of
coordination among
autonomous
managers.
Lower-level manager’s
objectives may not
be those of the
organization.
May be difficult to
spread innovative ideas
in the organization.

Learning Objective 1
Compute return on investment (ROI) and show how changes in sales, expenses, and assets affect ROI.
11-*
Return on Investment (ROI) Formula
Cash, accounts receivable, inventory,
plant and equipment, and other
productive assets.
Income before interest
and taxes (EBIT)
ROI =
Net operating income
Average operating assets
11-*
Net Book Value versus Gross Cost
Most companies use the net book value of depreciable assets to calculate average operating assets.

Investing in Operating Assets to Increase Sales
Assume that Regal's manager invests in a $30,000 piece of equipment that increases sales by $35,000, while increasing operating expenses by $15,000.
Let’s calculate the new ROI.
Regal Company reports the following:
Net operating income $ 50,000
Average operating assets $ 230,000
Sales $ 535,000
Operating expenses $ 485,000

Criticisms of ROI
In the absence of the balanced
scorecard, management may
not know how to increase ROI.
Managers often inherit many
committed costs over which
they have no control.
Managers evaluated on ROI
may reject profitable
investment opportunities.
11-*
Learning Objective 2
Compute residual income and understand its strengths and weaknesses.
11-*
Residual Income - Another Measure of Performance
Net operating income
above some minimum
return on operating
assets
11-*
Calculating Residual Income
(
)
This computation differs from ROI.
ROI measures net operating income earned relative to the investment in average operating assets.
Residual income measures net operating income earned less the minimum required return on average operating assets.

Residual Income – An Example
The Retail Division of Zephyr, Inc. has average operating assets of $100,000 and is required to earn a return of 20% on these assets.
In the current period, the division earns $30,000.
Let’s calculate residual income.

Motivation and Residual Income
Residual income encourages managers to
make profitable investments that would
be rejected by managers using ROI.

Divisional Comparisons and Residual Income
The residual income approach has one major disadvantage.
It cannot be used to compare the performance of divisions of different sizes.

Zephyr, Inc. - Continued
Recall the following information for the Retail Division of Zephyr, Inc.
Assume the following information for the Wholesale Division of Zephyr, Inc.

11-*
Zephyr, Inc. - Continued
The residual income numbers suggest that the Wholesale Division outperformed the Retail Division because its residual income is $10,000 higher. However, the Retail Division earned an ROI of 30% compared to an ROI of 22% for the Wholesale Division. The Wholesale Division’s residual income is larger than the Retail Division simply because it is a bigger division.

11-*
The Balanced Scorecard: From
Strategy to Performance Measures
Financial
Has our financial
performance improved?
Customer
Do customers recognize that
we are delivering more value?
Internal Business Processes
Have we improved key business processes so that we can deliver more value to customers?
Learning and Growth
Are we maintaining our ability
to change and improve?
Performance Measures
What are our
financial goals?
What customers do
we want to serve and
how are we going to
win and retain them?
What internal busi-
ness processes are
critical to providing
value to customers?
Vision and Strategy
11-*
The Balanced Scorecard:
Non-financial Measures
The balanced scorecard relies on non-financial measures in addition to financial measures for two reasons:
- Financial measures are lag indicators that summarize
the results of past actions. Non-financial measures are
leading indicators of future financial performance.
- Top managers are ordinarily responsible for financial
performance measures – not lower level managers.
Non-financial measures are more likely to be
understood and controlled by lower level managers.
11-*
The Balanced Scorecard for Individuals
A personal scorecard should contain measures that can be
influenced by the individual being evaluated and that
support the measures in the overall balanced scorecard.
The entire organization should have an overall balanced scorecard.
Each individual should have a personal balanced scorecard.
11-*
The balanced scorecard lays out concrete actions to attain desired outcomes.
A balanced scorecard should have measures
that are linked together on a cause-and-effect basis.
If we improve
one performance
measure . . .
Another desired
performance measure
will improve.

The Balanced Scorecard and Compensation
Incentive compensation should be linked to
balanced scorecard performance measures.
