Instructions
1. The purpose of this template is to gather data that will be
analyzed and discussed in the Assignment Part B submission.
Insert the name of the company in the "Company 1 or Company
2" headings so we know which company is being reviewed.
2. The template uses the terminology in the CFO Guidebook
chapter on Risks.
3. Risks of the company are disclosed in the annual 10-K report
section Item 1A Risk Factors. Use the risks in the 10-K as your
basis for your template. You can also get additional risks from
the Morningstar Analyst Report, or from news articles about the
company. Try to narrow down the laundry list of risks to a few
unique (only applies to one company but not the other) and
major risks.
4. There is no "magic" number of risks to be included in your
template. Try to aim for 3-5 risks per company to compare and
analyze. More is not better - quality over quantity.
5. You can delete extra rows, or add rows. You can also change
the font size and the column widths. Keep the headings
standard. While not a requirement, if you believe an additional
column is required to better describe/classify your risks, then
add it.

6. While not a requirement, you can copy/paste the Excel
completed table as a picture to your Word document if it makes
it easier to reference in your analysis and recommendations.

Date
Introduction
An Introduction should be succinct and to the point. Start your
Introduction with a general and brief observation about the
paper’s topic. Write a thesis statement, which is the “road map”
for your paper - it helps your reader to navigate your work. In
your thesis statement, be specific about the major areas you
plan to address in your paper.
The headings below should guide your introduction, since they
identify the topics to be addressed in your paper. The
introduction is not a graded part of your rubric but it helps your
reader to understand what your assignment will be about. We
recommend that you write this part of your Introduction after
you complete the other sections of your paper. It only needs to
be one paragraph in length.
Analysis and Recommendations
You must answer each of the following questions in your paper.
Keep your responses focused on the topic. Straying off into
additional areas, even if they are interesting, will not earn
additional marks, and may actually detract from the clarity of
your responses.
I. Where is each company in its corporate lifecycle (startup,
growth, maturity or decline)? Explain.
Before writing your response to this question, make sure you
understand what characterizes each of these categories used to
describe corporate lifecycle. If you are still unclear based on
your course readings, take some time to do additional research
on the Web. In your answer, include a clear statement about
where each (not just one) company is in its corporate lifecycle.
Then, for each company, explain how it matches the
characteristics that define the category. Include specific details
such as how long the company has been around, whether
demand for their products is growing or shrinking, and what the
competitive landscape looks like. Your response to this

question should be approximately two paragraphs in length.
II. Based on your review of the analysts’ reports and the 10-K
reports, which company appears to have more risk? Why?
Note that this question requires you to review both the
companies’ own published statements AND third-party sources.
The focus of your response should be on the comparison of the
overall risk levels the companies face. Do not simply restate
the risks identified for each, but explain: (1) areas in which the
risk levels are similar and (2) areas where they are different.
Remember, you must explain WHY you have reached the
conclusions you have about the overall risk-level comparison of
the companies. You can probably address this question in a
single paragraph, but your response should definitely not exceed
two paragraphs.
III. Which categories of risk pose the greatest threat to each
organization? Why?
This question is a continuation of the previous question. Now
that you have compared relative overall risk levels of each
company, you will get into detail about which risk categories
pose the greatest threat to each organization. Your analysis
may conclude that they face the greatest threats from the same
risk sources, or that the risks each faces are from different
sources. Since this question does not directly ask for a
comparison in the way that the previous question did, you may
decide that a paragraph on each company is the best way to
respond, or you may prefer to first identify the risk categories
that each faces and then create a second paragraph to explain
why and defend your position. The second approach works well
if the risk categories are the same for both companies. Your
response to this question should be approximately two
paragraphs in length.
IV. Which company has the stronger economic moat? Explain.
An economic moat is a metaphor for how a company creates and
protects its place in the market. Moats are the capabilities the
organization has to keep its customers coming back and to keep
other competitors from stepping in and taking them away.

Companies build moats through things like: price advantage,
quality, speed of service, marketing, brand reputation, etc. In
writing your response to this question, you must: (a) clearly
state which company has the stronger economic moat, (b)
summarize the factors that contribute to its moat strength in key
areas, and (c) explain why you have concluded that the moat
strength of one company is superior to the other. You can
probably address this question in a single paragraph, but your
response should definitely not exceed two paragraphs.
V. For the company that has the weaker economic moat, what
two risk factors should they prioritize to improve their risk
mitigation and strengthen their competitive advantage? Make
specific reference to the applicable risk-management tools
discussed on pages 30-63 of The CFO Guidebook.
The final question of your paper shifts from analysis to
recommendation. Your reponse must present a plan of action.
It is not sufficient to simply identify any two risk areas.
Explain why these particular risks deserve to be prioritized.
Remember, risk can never be entirely eliminated in business. It
can only be managed. As you develop your position, stay
focused on the two things that define risk management: (a)
reducing the likelihood of the risk actually occurring and (b)
minimizing the negative impact if the risk event actually does
occur. A well-written response to this question must center on
prioritization. That means you need to focus your
recommendation on both the risks that could cause the most
damage AND on actions that can be taken NOW to mitigate
those risks. Focusing on a long-term high-risk factor may be
important, but if there is a more immediate risk that needs to be
addressed now, this may be the greater priority. Remember,
your response must include a rationale for your
recommendations. You can probably address this question in a
single paragraph, but your response should definitely not exceed
two paragraphs.
References
Use the information below to format your in-text citations

correctly. Note how the source number connects each citation
with the References list on the last page of your paper.
For more citation examples and a sample References page, see
the Sample Professional Paper and the JWMI Writing Standards
Guide. You can find both these documents in the Course
Documents menu item in your Blackboard course.
In-Text Citations
Within the body of your paper, when concepts from specific
sources are used, a citation with the author’s last name and the
number of the citation in your References list is required: e.g.,
(Welch, 1). This is called an in-text citation. See below for two
examples:
“Leadership is about helping other people grow and succeed”
(Welch, 1).
In this example, notice the placement of quotation marks, cited
text, and the period after the citation. The number 1 corresponds
to the first entry on your References page.
When the reader looks at the References page, they should see
the Welch book Winning listed as source number one (1). It is
number 1 because it is the first source used in the paper, and
throughout the paper this source will continue to be referred to
as (1).
If the next source you use in your paper is Bragg, then your
citation is (Bragg, 2). If you then refer to Jack’s ideas again
later in the paper, he remains (Welch, 1) because it is the first
source used in the paper, and throughout the paper this source
will continue to be referred to as (1).
Linking Citations with your References Page
At the end of your paper, include a page with a list of all your

references. It must include an entry for every source that you
have cited or quoted in your paper.
The format of the references list varies by source type. There
are examples of different source types in the sample References
page at the end of this document. You may also refer to the
Sample Professional Paper and/or the JWMI Writing Standards
Guide. You can find both these documents in the Course
Documents menu item in your Blackboard course.
Quotations
Originality is an important aspect of graduate writing. To
ensure original thinking and avoid plagiarism, you should keep
direct quotation to a minimum. Generally, keep your quotes to
25 words or less, and no more than 1-2 sentences. See below
for an example of a direct quotation:
“Leadership is about helping other people grow and succeed”
(Welch, 1).
In this example, notice the placement of quotation marks, cited
text, and the period after the citation. The number 1 corresponds
to the first entry on our References page.
Paraphrasing
When you paraphrase, you put the information from another
writer in your own words. This is much preferable to quoting, as
it shows your understanding of the material. In this case, you
should use in-text citation, but quotation marks are not
required. See below for an example of paraphrasing:
In his Rule 3, Welch says that strong leaders display an
impression of vitality and confidence (1).
Since the author’s name was used in the sentence, we do not
need to include it again in the parentheses, so we just provide
the Reference number, which is (1).
