Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,3, Buckinghamshire New University, language: English, abstract: In this assignment, the author finds herself in the role of a consultant, whose client intends to acquire VW. The objective of this paper is to provide an assessment of VW's financial performance and financial position to prepare a proposal to the client, that assists in deciding whether acquiring VW is financially beneficial. For a comprehensive insight into VW's financial performance and position, the approach was as follows. Hereafter, in chapter two, the theoretical background provides the reader with knowledge about VW and describes the meaning of DD in M&A processes. Chapter three, the financial statement analysis, is subdivided into FDD and CDD. In the FDD profitability ratios, asset and capital structure KPIs, and liquidity ratios are described and reviewed. The ratios are based in each case on the corresponding statement, the income statement, the balance sheet, and the CFS. The annual reports of VW from the years 2017-2019 serve as a reference for the financial KPIs. The CDD is based on Porter’s Five Forces framework, which considers future trends, and in addition, includes a brief benchmarking to identify competition between global car manufacturers within this framework. To conclude chapter three, the results of FDD and CDD are summed up. In chapter four, a proposal to the client is provided, which speaks for the fact that VW is worth buying in terms of the numbers considered.
Download or read book Evaluating Corporate Financial Performance written by Jacek Welc and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook offers a step-by-step guide through comprehensive financial statement analysis with real-life case studies for students of financial accounting, financial reporting, and financial statement analysis. Structured into five comprehensive sections, it begins by explaining the content of accounting reports themselves and the three primary financial statements (income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement). It deciphers the notes to financial statements and demonstrates some classical tools such as ratio analysis and multivariable credit risk models that are useful in a retrospective financial statement analysis. It includes simple step-by-step procedures of a prospective (i.e. future-oriented) financial statement simulation and closes with a comprehensive real-life case study that demonstrates a practical application of the analytical tools discussed earlier in the text. Additionally, the textbook includes online appendices consisting of additional comprehensive real-life case studies (of varying degrees of complexity and dealing with different aspects of a practical financial statement analysis), a set of MS Excel files that contain all major calculations included in tables and charts that appear in the core textbook, and a set of webinars in which the most fundamental parts of the core textbook are discussed in the form of the recorded lectures.

Download or read book Behavioral Finance written by Rolf J. Daxhammer and published by UVK Verlag. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 50 years, neoclassical financial theory has been dominating our perception of what is happening in financial markets. It has spurred numerous valuable theories and concepts all based on the concept of Homo Economicus, the strictly rational economic man. However, humans do not always act in a strictly rational manner. For students and practitioners alike, our book aims at opening the door to another perspective on financial markets: a behavioral perspective based on a Homo Oeconomicus Humanus. This agent acts with limited rationality when making decisions. He/she uses heuristics and shortcuts and is prone to the influence of emotions. This sounds familiar in real life and can be transferred to what happens in financial markets, too.

Download or read book Reading Between the Lines of Corporate Financial Reports written by Jacek Welc and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-28 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a digestible step-by-step guide to reading corporate financial reports, drawing upon real-life case studies and examples of corporate collapses and accounting scandals, and applying practical tools to financial statement analysis. Appealing to a range of practitioners within corporate finance including investors, managers, and business analysts, this book is the first to specifically address the challenges facing those who are not professional accountants and auditors when examining corporate financial reports. Corporate financial reports are used widely by managers, investors, creditors, and government agencies to examine company performance and evaluate potential risks. However, although seemingly an invaluable source of information for managerial decision-making, financial reports are often based on rough simplifications of a very complex reality. With no way of avoiding deliberate manipulations and fraudulent activity, these statements cannot be relied on completely when selecting stocks or evaluating credit risk, and therefore poor analysis can lead to potentially disastrous investment decisions. The author suggests that in order to effectively interpret corporate financial reports, we must 'read between the lines' to accurately assess a company's economic performance and predict its long-term viability.

Download or read book The UAW s Southern Gamble written by Stephen J. Silvia and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UAW's Southern Gamble is the first in-depth assessment of the United Auto Workers' efforts to organize foreign vehicle plants (Daimler-Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Volkswagen) in the American South since 1989, an era when union membership declined precipitously. Stephen J. Silvia chronicles transnational union cooperation between the UAW and its counterparts in Brazil, France, Germany, and Japan and documents the development of employer strategies that have proven increasingly effective at thwarting unionization. Silvia shows that when organizing, unions must now fight on three fronts: at the worksite; in the corporate boardroom; and in the political realm. The UAW's Southern Gamble makes clear that the UAW's failed campaigns in the South can teach hard-won lessons about challenging the structural and legal roadblocks to union participation and effectively organizing workers within and beyond the auto industry.
