experinces
Objective
This group project has been structured to provide students with an opportunity to see how the concepts covered during classroom discussion relate first-hand to a particular firm (a publicly traded corporation). The learning outcome for this project is for students to gain an increased understanding of how the major course concepts are applied in business.
Premise
You are a consulting company hired by a group of investors (i.e. the members of your class) who have a considerable amount of money to invest. Assume this investor group is interested in investing in the company your team is researching. You have been hired to fully research the company and make a recommendation to the investor group as to whether or not they should invest their funds in the researched company.
Assignment Instructions
Students will form teams with a maximum group size of four students.
Teams choose their own company to research however it must be a publicly traded company which produces an annual report. The first team who chooses a company can use that company – first come, first served.
When the company is submitted to the instructor for approval a current day stock quote must be included with the company name.
You may divide up the assignment between group members but each individual is responsible to understand the information in all parts for examination purposes. The final report should be a cohesive document representing the entire group regardless of how you divide the work effort. Each student is required to keep copies of his/her notes, research, rough drafts ,etc. and make them available on request by the course instructor.
Your role is that of a team of consultants. You will want to name your firm. Your task is to undertake a comprehensive analysis of your assigned company and provide a buy/sell recommendation to a major institutional investor. Your cover letter will be addressed to this institutional investor.
Your written report MUST be 15-20
