For this part of your homework for the module and the objectives we are aiming to achieve with it are:

Task I:

You are required to submit ONE word or pdf file answering the requirements of the three parts detailed below.

For this part of the homework, considering you are being asked to essentially collect information from publicly available sources, your ability to correctly reference the sources of that information from which you collect the information is essential. As such, marks will be allocated for the following two elements: 1 - the accuracy of the information collection and its application/analysis; and 2 - the correct referencing using Harvard Referencing methodology.

Task II: Company Key Information

For the company you calculated the ratios for in the first part of the homework, answer the following questions:

A. What is the main activity(ies) of the company?

B. What is the volume of trade of the company? (not trade of shares in the capital markets, but the company's trade in its activity)

C. What is the market capitalization of the company?

E. What is the company's market share? (*)

F. How has that market share evolved over the last five years?

G. Who are the company's main competitors?

Task III: Your company in the News

Identify and list 10 times in the last 12 months where your company was in the headlines (of the press, whether financial or otherwise), and write a brief report (no more than 1,000 words, excluding extracts) with an assessment of who you believe those headlines will impact the future performance of the business.

In the report include:

A. The headline and respective source (including link, if from a website, and clearly indicating the date of the news)

B. A brief extract (no required length) with the key idea(s) of the article

C. A brief assessment with your own views of how you think this will impact the future performance of the company.

While any source of information is acceptable to collect information about your company, part of your learning while at University is to be able to use academic and scientific sources of information rather than merely doing web searches. As such, in order to achieve full marks in this requirement, you need to provide evidence (through the referencing of the sources of news used) that you have used academic databases available through the library.
