Part 1-B(1): ASSESS FIRM PERFORMANCE
L. DATA COLLECTION
Begin by collecting as much information as possible regarding both the firm and industry performance.
Be sure to coltect data in each of the areas of performance. lnformation on the company will generally
come from the case material (unless the firm is a publicly traded company that has other information
available). lnformation on the industry should come from a variety of sources, including industry
financial information, industry analysis publications, trade associations, and more. Note that certain
industry financial ratios are available only in hard copy at the library (e.9., Troy’s Almanac, Robert
Morris, etc.). Remember that for the industry you are trying to get a sense in each of the performance
areas of both what the “average” levels are as well as what the best firms are able to achieve. The wider
you “cast your net”, the better the ideas you are likely to come up with.
I Data should be collected on both the firm and the industry in each of these areas:
Operati ng Performance:
Financial Performance:
Financial Position
Profitability
Market Performance
Organizational Health:
