Abstract

This rewritten version differs from Black & Decker Corp.: Household Products Group (A1) in two ways: 1) It has an explicit decision focus. Homa must decide on a program to transfer the Black & Decker name to GE small appliances; and 2) The detailed information concerning advertising, promotion programs, purchase allowances, volume rebates, dating discounts, cooperative advertising, and consumer rebates has been condensed.

Keywords
