  Stryker Corporation: Capital Budgeting (TN)

  Timothy A. Luehrman

  This case examines some parts of Stryker Corporation's systems and procedures for approving and authorizing capital spending of many different types, including buildings, machinery, and working capital for existing businesses, as well as transactions with third parties such as acquisitions, joint ventures, and licensing agreements. The case is set in early 2007, nearly two years after significant modifications in these systems and procedures. Stryker has compiled a remarkable track record of consistently high growth in profitability over more than 20 years. The modifications to its capital budgeting procedures are partly intended to support the company's efforts to continue this success.
