  1. Evaluation and Control • Which measures to use to assess performance depends on: • the company you are looking at and • the objectives to be achieved.

  2. Evaluation and Control • In consideration of the company • how big is the company? • how diversified is the company? • how competitive is the company’s industry? • what is the strategic approach of the company?

  3. Evaluation and Control • In consideration of objectives: • focused on cost efficiency in processing, inbound and outbound logistics, etc. • focused on maintaining strong brand identity • attempting to increase market penetration • trying to fill one or two small market niches • focused on rapidly introducing new product generations

  4. Evaluation and Control Balanced Scorecard - Some Thoughts Should the company include non-financial measures to determine overall performance? • Market-based: market share, brand identity, etc. • Society-based: environmental policies and reporting, human resource policies • How important are these factors to the company’s long term viability?

  5. Evaluation and Control • Triple Bottom Line Performance - Adding Social and Environmental Issues • “Measures” of Social Performance: • Employee Safety – Injuries • Health Care program • Hours of Employee Training • Day Care • Maternity and Paternity Leave • Community Engagement activities

  6. Evaluation and Control • Triple Bottom Line Performance - Adding Social and Environmental Issues • “Measures” of Social Performance: • HP and Global Citizenship Awards

  7. Evaluation and Control • Triple Bottom Line Performance - Adding Social and Environmental Issues • “Measures” of Environmental Performance: • Number of Toxic/Hazardous waste spills and incidents • Amount of and changes in pollutants to air, water and land • Environmental product design awards • Number of manufacturing operations certified according to ISO 14001

  8. Evaluation and Control • Triple Bottom Line Performance - Adding Social and Environmental Issues • “Measures” of Environmental Performance: • Dell and Emissions

  9. Evaluation and Control Financial Performance - Profitability Ratios Margin Ratios Gross margin = gross profit/sales x 100% Operating margin = operating income/sales x 100% Profit margin = net income/sales x 100% • changes can be early warning of serious problems (down 1 or 2% can be the difference between healthy profits or a loss in many industries)

  10. Evaluation and Control Financial Performance - Profitability Ratios Return on Investment Ratios Return on Assets = Net Income/Total Assets • good for evaluating divisional managers (how well did they utilize the assets entrusted to them) but not so good for evaluating overall firm performance Return on Equity = Net Income/Stockholders’ Equity • good for evaluating overall firm performance (how well did the firm’s top management use the resources provided by owners) but not for evaluating divisional managers

  11. Evaluation and Control Financial Performance - Efficiency Ratios Inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold/average inventory balance Days to sell inventory= 365/inventory turnover • large inventory incurs excessive interest, warehousing, property tax and spoilage costs • small inventory risks lost sales or production line stoppage due to stock outs of finished goods or raw materials, respectively

  12. Evaluation and Control Financial Performance - Liquidity Ratios To little liquidity raises possibility of default & bankruptcy; to much implies long term investments w/ greater profitability have been missed. Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities • varies by industry - airline industry (receivables & inventory are low), manufacturing industry (receivables & inventory fairly high), distillery (inventories quite high) Quick ratio = (don’t worry about this one)

  13. Evaluation and Control • How do you find out what financial data you should include in your report. • Look at annual reports. What performance measurements do the chairman, president, or other top management often make reference to? • Look at industry analyst reports: What performance measurements do industry analysts often make reference to when discussing companies in this industry?

  14. Evaluation and Control Looking at a Company: InFocus Looking at a Company: Dell Computers Use Research Insight (Compustat) to find financial information on your company and its competitors. Available on business computing lab PCs.

  15. Evaluation and Control • Responsibility Centers • Standard Cost Centers: primarily manufacturing; efficiency – costs per unit produced; compare expected and actual production costs • Revenue Centers: generally sales; effectiveness – sales generated; compare previous year’s/projected to actual sales. • Expense Centers: generally administration, service & research; indirect contribution to revenues.

  16. Evaluation and Control • Responsibility Centers • Profit Centers: SBU or division controls expenses and revenues, perhaps based on product line. • Investment Centers: generally facility-based; return on investment; revenue generated compared to value of facility
