For example, the figure below shows a complete partition of the<br />

Products for Sale product into subproducts named Hard Goods and<br />

Services. The fact that the partition is complete means that each<br />

product for sale is either a hard good or a service. There are no<br />

products for sale that are neither hard goods nor services.<br />

Superproduct<br />

Complete partition<br />

Subproducts<br />

Incomplete partitions An incomplete partition represents an incomplete division of a<br />

superactivity or superproduct. In an incomplete partition, there<br />

can be occurrences of the superactivity or superproduct that are not<br />

also occurrences of one of the subactivities or subproducts.<br />

For example, the figure below shows an incomplete partition of the<br />

Promote Products activity into subactivities named Run<br />

Telemarketing Campaign, Run Direct Mail Campaign, and Run<br />

Advertising Campaign. The fact that the partition is incomplete<br />

means that there may be promotional activities that involve<br />

neither telemarketing, direct mail, nor advertising.
