I think I found the key phrase.
                                                                 
 <<He also explained that IBM's resource (MONEY) is allocated to 
 organizations within IBM based on that unit's profitability. He 
 pointed out that is not the case for marketing however. >>      
                                                                 


I think the  "Not the case for Marketing however"  is the problem that we
all know and love so much.
