Profiles of Candidate Companies

Examine the management, products or services, revenues, market shares, profits, and foreign activities for your four (4) candidate companies. Include the following information in your company profiles:

· Strategic plan (mission statement, goals and objectives, contingency plans).

· Critical analysis (in light of economic and industry trends). This should include analysis of corporate governance, products and services, and a financial analysis. In addition, identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the company. One way this can be done is through a SWOT analysis.

In discussing the profiles of your candidate companies, consider the following:

· Profile of the five senior officials of each company in terms of education, work experience, and age. Are their credentials a value-added benefit to their organizations?

· What products or services does each company offer?

· What revenues were generated over the last three years? (Provide an Excel graph or screen shot from the corporate site.)

· How did economic and industry trends affect past revenues and profits? How might this change in the future? (For example, was there a 9/11 impact?)

· What is each company’s current mission statement? How has it been implemented in terms of measurable goals and objectives that you can summarize briefly?

· How might the mission statement change or be reinforced based on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats you have identified?

· How would you incorporate contingency planning in your strategic plan?

· Provide a ranking of your candidate companies based on your initial analysis.
