The Corporate Performance Report will require you to apply pertinent business concepts to the analysis of a chosen company using data from the company's annual report as well as other sources. Using different business concepts and real-world techniques, you will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the company and write a report for upper management either recommending or not recommending purchase of the company stock.
