Task 1

The performance of a business is influenced by numerous factors inside and outside the organisation. You are required to select a Hospitality, Tourism or Business related company that is listed on the London Stock Exchange (including the Alternative Investment Market).  Over the semester, from weeks 4 – 13 you will complete a BLOG that diarises the ongoing activities of your company.

Your blog should include:

6. Performance analysis (using ratios);
7. Consideration to share prices and a FTSE index of your choice;
8. You will need to keep a weekly log of the share price on a particular day in order to conduct a performance analysis on your chosen company.
