Resumo: |
In multidivisional companies most part of the decision process is descentralized to the business units which usually commercialize products and services internally. The transfer prices of these products and services are part of the management control system in these multidivisional firms. As a consequence, an inappropriate transfer price methodology can result on deviations in the decison process which can generate financial losses. Having this problem in mind, this study does an evaluation of the management control systems based on transfer pricing, in order to describe best practices and deviations and understand their consequences to the organizations. With this objective, it is utilized a case study of Scania Latin America, an automobilistic company, which assembles and commercializes heavy commercial vehicles in Brazil. A comparative analysis is developed between the transfer pricing system adopted by Scania and the literature related to the subject, taking into consideration the corporate strategy of the company. The description of the processes at Scania is fundamented on interviews with the business units controllers, questionnairies applied to the divisional managers, evaluation of the observed internal procedures and the documentation got during the survey process. The evaluation of the literature is mainly based on the articles of Watson e Baumler (1975), Eccles (1983), Hill et. al. (1992) and Adler (1996), who have focused on the analysis of the transfer pricing methodologies under the context of the organization strategy. The conclusion is that Scania applies the transfer pricing as a management controll tool through a mechanism which continuously challenges the costs and prices, based on an internal negotiation process supported by benchmarking and target costing parameters. The system is aligned to the related diversified strategy and collaborative organization structure of the firm, chosen to meet to the demands of a scenario of competitive and high technology market. In addition to that, the transfer pricing system at Scania contributes to align the objectives of the central office and the business units and succeeds on creating a good performance measuring systems which motivates managers |
