Assignment Task Firm Selection
Select a company listed on an internationally recognised and well-established
Stock Exchange (such as London, New York, Tokyo, Mumbai). It is important
that historical share and stock index price data and financial statements for
the selected firm and its competitors is available for a minimum of 5 years. It
is preferable to select a firm operating in a single industry but not the
financial industry since their accounts are more complicated and are
regulated through central bank oversight.

Introduction to the selected organisation (what it is, who its key competitors
are, how it operates, its industry sector) must be included

Part 1 – historical performance (over past 5 years) Based on the systematic comparative appraisal of the selected firm’s historical performance:
• Discuss how successful the selected firm has been at delivering value to
its shareholders
• Analyse the historical total shareholder return (TSR) and economic value
