The president has just received next year’s budget proposal from the vice pesident in charge of French Division. The proposal budgets a 5 percent increase in sales revenue with an extensive explanation about stiff market competition. The president is puzzled. French has enjoyed reve-nue growth of around 10 percent for each ofthe past fiveyears. The president had consistently approved the division’sbudget proposls based on 5 percent growth in the past. This time, the president wants to show that he is not a fool. “I will impose a 15 percent revenue increase to teach them a lesson!” the president says to himself smugly.
