Task: Evaluating Performance Using Metrics
Using the data from the Anthony's Orchards website, write a 1- to 2-page paper identifying the profit centers, cost centers, and investment centers of the company. What are the indicators that each responsible party uses to evaluate performance? How can a manager evaluate each unit's performance based on the metrics (with interpretation)? If put in charge of one of the cost centers, which would you want to manage and how would you propose managing it to ensure both short-term success and long-term sustainability?
