Industry Perspective
1. Do some industries have better evolution of the stock value
than others? Why? Search for your organization or a similar one
and compare its evolution for the longest possible period to the
main stock indicators (Dow, NASDAQ, S&P500) and
competitive firms.
Some industries have better evolution of the stock value than
others for a number of reasons. The evolution of the stock price

Company Perspective
4. Is your organization performing well against the others in
its industry? Provide arguments and examples to justify your
response.
5. What factors explain the differences in company
performance in the same industry?
6. How can some companies in poorly performing industries
still do well?
In any given company, there are multiple possible reasons for
success or failure. In even the best performing industries,
companies can be internally under-performing. There are many
aspects to profitability besides having desired products.
Companies must properly utilize supply chains, marketing,
accounting, human resources, advertising, public relations, and
research and development to maximize their competitiveness
within any given industry. Of course, this list is not all-
inclusive. It also does not mention perhaps a few of the most

4. important aspects of organizational success—leadership and
culture. The education of businesspeople and students on the
critical importance of these foundations of success is a multi-
million dollar industry in itself.
Conversely, companies in poorly performing industries can still
do well by being internally sound businesses. As students we
are taught the foundations of successful businesses. Businesses
can follow these guidelines and hope for the best. They can also
simply want success more than the others. As previously stated,
sometimes success or failure begins with culture and a vision.
With a winning culture, vision, and efficient execution, success
should be possible even in losing industries.
Regardless of the industry in which one competes, a company
must still operate efficiently. A company must have a strategic
plan, and the resources, focus and leadership to follow through
on the plan. The tech industry is seen as a growth industry, but
the top companies tend to be led by visionary leaders, with a
clear focus and the ability to persuade others to invest or buy
into the idea
