Question Description
Develop a financial analysis of a healthcare support organization of your choosing(e.g., medical device manufacturer, pharmaceutical company, medical supply company). The intent of this assignment is to evaluate the financial and operational health of the organization and disseminate the information to the class. You may pursue, analyze, and synthesize any information source you choose (e.g., website content, personal interviews, organizational documentation). Strive to be rigorous and thorough in your research.
Note:
For-profit organizations are generally easier to research than
not-for-profits as all financials are reportable to the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Final Paper Instructions
Upload your completed financial analysis of your chosen healthcare support organization. The intent of this assignment is to evaluate the financial and operational health of the organization and disseminate the information to the class.
- Projects are not limited in size, should be professional in appearance, and cover (at a minimum) the evaluation of the metrics discussed in Gapenski and Pink (2015), which are detailed in Chapter 13 in the sections about Ratio Analysis, DuPont Analysis, and Operating Indicator Analysis.
- You may pursue, analyze, and synthesize any information source you choose (e.g., website content, personal interviews, organizational documentation). Strive to be rigorous and thorough in your research.
- Your final presentation should report on the business’ location(s), competitive market(s), service lines, and business segments, for example. Unless otherwise indicated, a five-year trend analysis—including the most recent year of available information/data—is expected.
- Do not just report the data—tell me what it means. Ultimately, would you invest in the company? Why or why not?
- Presentations should adhere to Advisory Board formatting. See the Strategic Plan Template below for an example.
