...Financial Analyst Report Furman Glass Prof. Arlene Goodman ACCT614-1302A-06 Colorado Technical University April 15, 2013 Abstract Financial Analyst Report The associates of a corporation’s board of directors and executive management team are liable for establishing the policy, procedures and are eventually accountable to stockholders for the financial well-being of the corporation. Too successfully conduct their responsibilities, panel associates must have appropriate data in the structure of financial statements or narrates that afford a complete summary of the corporation’s financial position.

The two U.S. publicly traded companies that will be compared side by side are Caterpillar Inc. and John Deere.

...ORBH 250 Spring 2015 Prof. Learning Plan Part II ! As for the future three years before I enter labor force (since I plan to go to graduate school), the biggest thing I want to work on is to find what I really want to do in the future as my career. I am currently a sophomore majoring in Accounting and to be honest, I am not pretty sure about what I want to do for living As long as I am considering right now, there are three possibilities for me as for my career—work in an investment bank as an analyst, work as an author in china. As for being a author, the very first reason is that I love to express my opinions through languages. Indeed I started thinking about being an author when I was in my first year of undergraduate. I was mostly motivated by the book, The Seventh Day, written by Chinese famous journalist Hua Yu. In that book, He expresses his opinions about political, social and economical events though relating fictions life after the death of the main charter. Therefore, I was motivated by his several sentences, hoping to become an author so as to perform my own values in Chinese writing filed. The major difficulty so far that get in the way for me to be a an author here is still the language barrier. The reason is that I did not get the formal training for this. For now, I accept American education, and totally stop accepting any Chinese stuff. In addition, I spend lots of time working on do my Finance and Accounting class, so I don’t have more time to consider...

...Case Analysis: Recruitment of a Star PROBLEM STATEMENT To recruit a suitable replacement for RSH’s star analyst Peter Thompson PESTC Analysis Political – Nil Economic:- * Increased shuffling of jobs.

...semiconductor analyst, Peter Thompson, had abruptly announced his resignation; he had received an offer from one of RSH’s competitors. But Peter was not only a star analyst, he was also RSH’s only semiconductor analyst. This was certainly not a role that could be left vacant for long and, right now, RSH particularly needed strong coverage of the semiconductor industry because of an upcoming deal with the PowerChip company. (See Exhibit 1.) Stephen examined how much money Peter generated for the firm and saw that he could legitimately raise Peter’s compensation. Then he devised a backup plan: to split Peter’s team by encouraging Peter’s junior analyst, Rina Shea, to stay at RSH. Peter ended up leaving the firm and Stephen promoted Rina to senior analyst, assigning her to cover PowerChip and the rest of the semiconductor industry, at least temporarily, while he decided whether to offer her the position permanently or hire someone from outside the firm. Now Stephen faced the task of finding a permanent replacement for Peter. Should he make Rina a permanent offer or hire from outside? RSH Research Department RSH’s corporate culture was especially strong in its research division. Senior research analysts often began as junior analysts and remained at the firm long after the research director gave them their own franchises. Instead of competing with each other, most analysts at the firm supported one another; many had open-door policies and encouraged less-experienced analysts to consult...

...Baum, David Hughes, Sonia Meetha and Seth Horkum. Among all, my choice is Seth Horkum. There were several positive aspect which made him my first option such as his time management (being at interview before the schedule), his prior experience with PowerChip company (Upcoming client for RSH), his long term commitment (15 years of service @ Jefferson Brothers) which allows dependency and loyalty. With all the above aspects and the intelligence he exhibited in the interview makes him the best fit for the job. What problems does Stephen Conner face? When Stephen let Peter go, the biggest problem was to find the right replacement at the earliest. So the time was the key factor because it was the time when they were in need of a senior analyst to get started with the new client (PowerChip Company). Apart from that, he was facing a lot of concerns from the senior executives of the organization about his decision of letting Peter go. In fact they were more upset with his decision of making Rina who was an assistant to peter and joined the organization just 3 years ago as a substitute for Peter. What should Peter's replacement look like, and which of the candidates best fits this description? (Page 4) Peter was extremely intelligent and his analytical skills were superior. So if one has to replace Peter must be of the same cadre and fit into the same shoe. He was always and achiever and go getter. His priorities were time management, resource management and competency at work...
