Using FinViz.com (Links to an external site.), or another website if you prefer, select an industry that is of interest to you, and then pick two companies within that industry having a comparable market capitalization (market cap); if possible a difference in market cap of not more than 5%.  Next, identify three financial ratios that are similar in value between the two companies you have picked, and three financial ratios that are not similar in value between the two companies you have picked.  Discuss what you believe to be of significance in relation to the three ratios that are similar, as well as what you believe to be of significance in relation to the three ratios that are not similar.  For example, if the book value to price value ratio is similar for the two companies, do you think that this is attributable to norms for that industry, or is it attributable to something else?  Or, if the Price to Earnings ratio is not similar for the two companies, what do you see as influencing the difference? 

To help you with your answers you may use any online resources, including rating agency reports, corporate filings, blogs (e.g., Seeking Alpha or others), company press releases, or news stories.

The assignment must be a minimum of 250 words not counting your bibliography, and needs to be printed out and submitted at the start of our next class.

Write a reaction paper on the book Love and Profit.  You can be positive or negative but including a personal story is also a good thing.  When I did my Doctoral work we only had one management class and our Prof was outstanding.  He had us read this book and I continue to go back to it again and again.  One of the advantages of being the Prof is that you can build activities around stuff that really makes educational and real-world sense!

Are we fully aware of the effects neglect has on children? Are we fully cognizant that many times when we ask children to leave or put them on “time out” we are causing more damage than good. So why do we do it? How do we use time out used as discipline?
