Monsanto Is an Enterprise That Is Composed of Three Parts

Monsanto is an enterprise that is composed of three parts. Its biotech section, (researching to develop crops that are pest and disease-resistant) provides about half of its sales. Pharmaceuticals from its G.D. Searle subsidiary contribute a third of its revenues; and food products, dominated by the artificial sweetener NutraSweet, make up less than 20 per cent of its total revenue. Monsanto's three strategic business units would generally

A) have no external competitors.
B) share the same mission as Monsanto.
C) use centralized planning and not operate independently.
D) have their own distinct missions.
