For this assignment, each student is asked to evaluate the
governance policy of a firm they might consider working for and then comparing
that to an organization considered the student’s chosen firm’s top competitor.
The main purpose of the exercise is to help make a connection between different
governance elements (e.g., board composition, equity holdings by directors,
executive compensation) and a firm’s financial performance. Each student is
asked to prepare no more than a TWO PAGE graphical comparison of performance
that addresses the following questions (You could use a chart format):
Summarize what you consider are the key aspects of the
firm’s governance mechanisms.
Based on your review of the firm’s governance, did you
change your opinion of the firm’s desirability as an employer? Why, or why not?
(Do not use first person pronouns (I), second person (you), or some third
person pronouns (we and our) when writing this assignment. See the Formatting
& Writing Styles Guide document.
