Abstract: | An examination of the merits of alternative systems for allocating capital within a firm, with a budget system, whereby top management limits divisional investment, without full knowledge of the division's investment opportunities, and that a budget system is useful when there are externalities among the investments of different divisions and when division managers' estimates of projects are subject to error. |
