United Technologies Case Summary

Richard Veller, the new CFO for Union Medical Center, began to change the operations of their management. Richard Veller looked to change UMC to an industrial system, which meant that the hospital would view cases as products. Just like any ordinary business, these products would have cost objects and would require an accounting system. In order to allocate costs appropriately, UMC was required to organize their cases into Diagnosis Related Groups to create a functional management control system. These changes brought certain internal issues into the spotlight. If solutions are not found, the hospital will not be able to implement their plans.

In the case of Accel VII, we are interested in how the performance incentives align both the interest of the general and limited partners. They include the terms of the general partners’ compensation structure and calculations of management fees and carried interest. These details can significantly affect the general partners’ incentive to engage in behavior that does not maximize value for investors.

TechMall’s revenue streams are rather simplistic. They receive a $750 one time set-up fee from all new merchants added into the TechMall system and a $50 statement fee, or maintenance fee, per month from all members. In addition, they receive a fee on each sales transaction, which is variable based on the dollar volume of the merchant’s transactions. TechMall’s standard pricing schedule indicates this revenue stream to be in the form of a 2% commission on all items sold by member merchants with a maximum commission receivable of $200.

The Supreme Court gave a determined ruling which considered the LSUC’s decision to be a possible infringement on the appellant’s fundamental right and freedom bound to religion. Therefore, such an approach got deemed non-trivial (at paragraph 101).
