Local Business Unit
Glossary Page
A Local Business Unit (LBU) refers to a distinct operational division or branch within a larger organization that operates within a specific geographical area or region. LBUs are often established to cater to the unique needs and characteristics of the local market. They have a certain level of autonomy and decision-making authority, allowing them to adapt their strategies and operations to the local environment. LBUs are responsible for managing their own resources, such as personnel, budget, and assets, while aligning with the overall goals and objectives of the larger organization. This decentralized structure enables organizations to effectively serve diverse markets and customers at the local level.
