accounts for parts already being supplied to the OEMs. Each of these OEM sales departments was expected to meet an annual sales revenue target. Because the product divisions' customers (OEMs) were different from the AM division's customers, top management did not feel that the OEM and aftermarket sales organizations should be combined. Even the three product divisions' OEM marketing efforts were net consolidated in one sales organization because each division's OEM marketers tended to work with different people within a given oEM's organization (i.e., ignition, transmission, and engines). Moreover, two of the three product divisions were independent companies before being acquired by Abrams. Thus, there was a long tradition of doing their own OEM marketing.
