Finc International Case

PHASE 2 INSTRUCTIONS:

Stage 2 (10% of grade): The analysis portion of the project (stage 2) is valued at 10 percent of your final grade, and consists of writing a 3-page, double-spaced paper supported by spreadsheets, graphs, etc. including financial and stock performance; international subsidiary analysis; country analysis; exposure and hedging analysis; currency analysis; tax analysis; industry and competitor analysis; and exposure analysis (transactions, translation, operating, and economic).  Any charts, graphs and financial reports are not included in the 3-page requirement.  This stage should be submitted in your assignment folder.

You have already performed a great deal of financial analysis in Stage 1 so you for the area of "financial and stock performance" you can focus in on stock performance.  In finance.yahoo.com , you can find the historical prices of your chosen company's stock.  You might want to report the stock price for the past 10-15 years in a table in an appendix and then perhaps discuss how those prices correlate (or don't correlate) with your financial analysis (from phase 1).  A paragraph or two should be sufficient.  I'd rather see you focus in on where the company does business internationally and then turn your focus to the international business dimensions present.  (PHASE 1 IS ALSO ATTACHED TO HOMEWORK MARKET POST)

The assignment says you should produce a document that is 3 pages, double spaced.  My guess is that a more realistic estimate of size will be 4-5 pages plus appendices.  Again, you will run your paper through Turnitin to check for plagiarism.
