    Time trend analysis gives a picture of changes in the company’s financial situation over time. Comparing a firm to itself over time allows the financial manager to evaluate whether some aspects of the firm’s operations, finances, or investment activities have changed. Peer group analysis involves comparing the financial ratios and operating performance of a particular firm to a set of peer group firms in the same industry or line of business. Comparing a firm to its peers allows the financial manager to evaluate whether some aspects of the firm’s operations, finances, or investment activities are out of line with the norm, thereby providing some guidance on appropriate actions to take to adjust these ratios if appropriate. Both allow an investigation into what is different about a company from a financial perspective, but neither method gives an indication of whether the difference is positive or negative. For example, suppose a company’s current ratio is increasing over time. It could mean that the company had been facing liquidity problems in the past and is rectifying those problems, or it could mean the company has become less efficient in managing its current accounts. Similar arguments could be made for a peer group comparison. A company with a current ratio lower than its peers could be more efficient at managing its current accounts, or it could be facing liquidity problems. Neither analysis method tells us whether a ratio is good or bad, both simply show that something is different, and tells us where to look.…

    Figgie International

    • 2288 Words
    • 10 Pages

    This case study examined Figgie International’s failure of transformational change. The key issues are the leadership style of the Founder, Harry Figgie and the Successor, Dr. Figgie. The decision of Dr. Figgie to hire management consultants caused eventual downfall of Figgie International. Thousand jobs of employees, millions of dollars invested by shareholders and long-term relationships with customers were lost. The conflict of interest of the management consultants chasing after enormous fees greatly overwhelmed the results of the actual work done carried out by the consultants and employees of Figgie International. Qualification and experience of consultants, specific scopes of work and objectives, cost benefit analysis of consultancy services, control of the transformational change by the organization managers, creation of powerful enough guiding coalition within organization and good communication of vision were among the lessons that could be learnt in this case study.…
