Applying the Owen construction of value of games with a priori unions to the normalized Banzhaf value gives a new type of the normalized Banzhaf value for games with a priori unions. Using a simple example of a four-person voting game with a priori unions, it is shown that this value is different from those known in the literature: the normalized Owen-Banzhaf value, the Banzhaf share function defined by van der Laan and van den Brink and the Banzhaf index for simple games with a priori unions introduced by Malawski. Thus, all four notions are distinct.
