Find a company that has filed an Initial Public Offering (IPO): you can get the name of a company rom either http://www.ipomonitor.com/pages/ipo-filings.html (best - it gives a bit of a description of what industry the company is in) or you can go to http://ipo.findthecompany.com/ and choose a name from there. You MUST have the approval of the instructor for the company you choose: companies cannot be analysed by more than one student. Failure to have your company approved will result in a failing grade for the assignment.
2) Go to http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html This is the SEC database for filings on public companies. Just search on the company name. Your search may produce a list of companies that meet your search terms: if so, choose the specific company you want to use for this assignment. In the results, click on the link under “Filings’ for either form S-1v (original IPO filing) or S-1A (updated IPO filing). This is the prospectus for the company. The prospectus can be quite long but students only need to read through the section called “Business” and this is usually only 12-14 pages, the same length as a typical case. The prospectus provides basic and detailed financials as well. Attach a copy of the “Business” section (and/or other relevant sections) of the IPO as an appendix to your paper.
Submit your assignment via the course D2L electronic drop box. Late assignments will be penalised 20% per day / part day late as per the course outline. Ensure that your file is identifiable – use your name or student number in the file name: I will not spend time trying to figure out whose paper is whose I will simply assume that the assignment was not submitted and assign a grade of zero (“0”) to students whose assignments are missing. Similarly, your papers are to be of professional report quality so marks will be deducted for spelling, grammar, writing/editing and other, similar errors.
Some ideas for types of analysis, analytical tools and/or questions to consider in your paper are provided below.
A typical paper would follow the kind of analysis we have done in the seminar sessions BUT you are free to devise your own approach.
The guiding principal for this assignment is for you to demonstrate that you understand the issues surrounding successful strategic management. There is no “correct” answer to this: students will be graded on depth of thought and analysis. Do not, however, simply answer the questions in the sample, below. You will be graded on depth of thought and analysis!!
