Company Analysis Spreadsheet
SYNOPSIS: Your company has asked
you to highlight the competitive companies within your product line: You must
be prepared to discuss 4 of the strongest competitors to your company from a
variety of lenses: product lines, size of company, product offerings, location,
# of employees, sales, financials, birth year, number of years in business,
strengths, weaknesses… This information will be utilized at the company-wide
strategic planning meeting, combined, and then presented at the national/global
conference related to that particular demographic. Either on your own or within your work teams,
you will complete the following tasks:
1.
In your project teams, create a
spreadsheet that compares 5 organizations total: the first should be your
home/host organization or company, and the remaining 4 should be your strongest
competitors.
2.
Your spreadsheet must consist
of 5 total companies and a minimum of 10values for comparisons. Examples of
values (headings, names…) includeCompany Name, Headquarters Location, Type of Company,
Products offered, Number of Years in
Business, Any Financials, Strengths, Weaknesses….YOU MAY CHOOSE OTHER VALUES IF YOU DESIRE.
