Step One: Please read Chapter $3($Pages $78-81$ only$).$ Then please watch this app. $15-$minute video:

Step Two: Select a publicly held company for the Subject Company of your Final Project:

Do not select Apple, Costco, Nike, Southwest Airlines or Starbucks $($as we will be discussing those companies throughout the semester$).$

Make sure you do select a company that is a for$-$profit, publicly$-$held business $($i$.$e$.$ traded on the stock market$).$

Even if you can obtain detailed financial statements for a non$-$profit organization, it is best not to choose a non$-$profit as it may be difficult to obtain financial statements or other "competitive" information for your benchmark analysis. In addition, our financial workshop $($conducted during Session Three$)$ will focus only on analyzing for$-$profit, publicly$-$held companies $($i$.$e$.$ non$-$profit organization financial reporting is a little different from for$-$profit reporting$).$

Consider selecting at least two competitors that are also publicly held for comparison purposes.

Step Three: Post your strategic group map for your Final Project here. You can use this template if you like.
