Abstract
In chapter two and three we have developed a general model of the firm, thus providing the economic context for our analysis of two-level planning. We included multiple techniques, make-or-buy decisions and cost allocation issues. Furthermore, a two-level organizational structure was proposed, with a central unit at the top level and a number of divisions at a lower level. The central unit’s task is to coordinate the divisional consumption of common resources (CR), to determine the make-or-buy decisions for technical services (TS) and to allocate costs.
