This note scrutinizes the role of share parameters in CES production functions. It shows that a firm, when planning production or selecting a production process, aims at maximizing one share parameter at the expense of another in a CES environment. Interior solutions can exist only if factor prices are uncertain to begin with.
 
 
Keywords: Production plan, production functions, CES, Cobb-Douglas
