The multi-divisional corporation model is a business corporation whose primary focus is managing purchase and sales activities. A typical multi-divisional corporation can be a buyer, a seller, or both. It could also be a retailer, a manufacturer, or both. Whatever form the multi-divisional corporation takes, it normally has multiple channels with different types of customers, such as, consumers, retailers, dealers, and original equipment manufacturers.
In the multi-divisional corporation model, each division might be set up as an Enterprise. This setup allows both segregation of transaction by division and global visibility at the corporate level. Each Enterprise configures its own business rules, workflow, and transaction processing.
