Uddrag
In this way, they can divide their business areas into SBUs. They therefore have an SBU for women's shoes, as it can be planned separately and at the same time they have their own competitors and this area has their own management.
The idea of dividing Eccos business areas by SBUs is to give them a better overview of their products, and to make it easier for them to create a Boston model.
The idea with the Boston model is then to place the individual SBUs in a schedule and then comparing the products with their market share and their market growth.
