Module Outline

The main aim of this course is to enable students to research and to write up a study of their own design in the form of a business analysis report. The study will comprise an appraisal of corporate financial performance, including interfirm comparison and trend analysis, with reference also to market forecasts and corporate valuation. Analytical skills will be taught as part of this module to enable students to apply theoretical models to practice in the context of financial appraisal and corporate management strategy. In preparation, students will critically survey relevant theories and published findings, and employ them to draw conclusions regarding the performance and valuation of competitive firms. Sponsored students are able to examine the competitive performance and valuation of their own organization as part of this course.
