A du-pont analysis of automobile companiespriya1826dangi
Do-Pont is the method of measuring the performance which was started by DuPont Corporation in 1920’s. With this method, assets are measured at their gross book value rather than at net book value in order to produce a higher return on equity (ROE). It is also known as "DuPont identity".
DuPont analysis tells us that ROE is affected by three things:
- Operating efficiency, which is measured by profit margin
- Asset use efficiency, which is measured by total asset turnover
- Financial leverage, which is measured by the equity multiplier
The Du-Pont analysis also called the Du-Pont model is a financial ratio based on the return on equity ratio that is used to analyze a company's ability to increase its return on equity. In other words, this model breaks down the return on equity ratio to explain how companies can increase their return for investors.
The Du-Pont analysis looks at three main components of the ROE ratio.
• Profit Margin
• Total Asset Turnover
• Financial Leverage
Based on these three performances measures the model concludes that a company can raise its ROE by maintaining a high profit margin, increasing asset turnover, or leveraging assets more effectively
It is one of the strongest indicators for a financially successful company. ROE is a great tool for investors because it shows you what the return is on the portion of the company that belongs to equity. It is a simple calculation that quickly summarizes the ability of management to turn shareholder equity into profitable returns
There are two other indicators that would like to analyze in a company: profit margin and asset turnover. Ideally we would like to see a company with high numbers for both of these, but that’s not always possible. It is a must that the company has at least one of these performing better than the industry standard. If the asset turnover is low, then the profit margin better be high (a specialty producer with a competitive advantage). If the profit margin is low, then the asset turnover better be high (a low cost provider with large market share).
In this report there is comparison between Five automobile companies i.e. Tata motors, Mahindra and Mahindra ,Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, and Bajaj Auto through Do-Pont Model
The Du-Pont analysis is only the first step in analyzing the firm’s performance. The next step is to dig deeper into the differences between the firm’s performance and the benchmark against which it is being measured.
After analyzing these automobile companies I found that Hero MotoCorp maintaining highest ROE as per comparison of others automobile companies more effectively.
Additional analysis can include comparing additional financial ratios and common-size financial statements that facilitate comparisons between firms. Common-size financial statements express everything as a percentage of one financial statement parameter, such as sales on the income statement or total assets on the balance she

Comparision of investment in mutual fund and equityParitosh Singh
The document summarizes some of the key advantages of investing in mutual funds over direct investment in stocks. It states that mutual funds provide diversification by investing in many different stocks, lowering risk. They are professionally managed by skilled fund managers who actively monitor the fund's holdings. Mutual funds also have lower minimum investment levels than buying individual stocks, and benefit from economies of scale. Overall, the document argues that mutual fund investment is a safer way for retail investors to invest in equity markets compared to direct stock picking due to these advantages.

The security analysis phase involves classifying and examining individual securities. Portfolio analysis identifies possible portfolio combinations and assesses their risks and returns. The optimal portfolio is then selected during the portfolio selection phase. Portfolio revision makes changes due to funds or risk adjustments. Finally, portfolio evaluation compares objectives and performance to improve the process.

EVA is defined as net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) minus the cost of capital.

EVA aims to align managerial decisions with shareholder interests.
The document discusses private equity, including venture capital and leveraged buyouts. It defines private equity and provides examples of different types of investments.

The document suggests that pension funds should consider allocating 5-10% of their equities to private equity and discusses various ways to invest, such as directly, through private equity managers, or funds of funds. It questions whether new investors have missed opportunities in private equity given consolidation in Europe and high valuations in some regions.

How To Plan And Build A Successful Content Marketing StrategyMichael Brenner
http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/plan-build-successful-content-marketing-strategy -- Did you know that every day on the internet:
There are 4.75 Billion pieces of content shared
There are 1.8 Billion photos uploaded
There are 700 Million Snapchats
There are 500 Million tweets
Marketing, as we know it, is being transformed right in front of our eyes. More and more messages are being promoted every day, on more channels, and as a result, consumers are learning to simply tune out the noise.
Because of this, brands must leverage content marketing to deliver the useful information necessary to educate and build trust with their audiences. But they often fail to document what they are trying to achieve, how they will get it done, and what measures will prove success.
Yesterday I presented to more than 600 attendees of the NewsCred #ThinkContent Webinar: "How To Plan And Build A Successful Content Marketing Strategy." I presented:
The key factors for content marketing success
The core components of a content marketing strategy
I answered the main questions of how to build a solid content marketing strategy
I shared my secret that effective content marketing was relatively simple:
"The buyer journey is nothing more than a series of questions that must be answered." ~ IDC
I shared the Content Marketing Institute's more formal definition of content marketing:
“Content marketing is the marketing and business process for creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.” ~ Content Marketing Institute
And I shared the rallying cry for why we need to change:
"We have to stop interrupting what people are interested in, and be what people are interested in." ~ Craig Davis (former Chief Creative Office - J. Walter Thompson)
Backed by research and our own customer engagements, I covered
The 6 factors to content marketing success:
Document content strategy
Have someone in charge of content
Consistently publish quality content
Map content to buyer journey
Balance Paid, Owned, Earned Media
Track Content Marketing ROI
I provided an example and a template for anyone to develop:
Your Content Marketing Mission Statement
Become a destination for [target audience] interested in [topics]. To help them [customer value].
This will help us [your content marketing goals]
Earn your audience’s attention vs. just buying it
Reach, engage and convert NEW buyers

I provided spreadsheets to help anyone conduct a content audit and measure their content marketing results:

Enterprise Architecture Governance: A Framework for Successful BusinessNathaniel Palmer
Enterprise Architectures play an important role supporting business transformation initiatives. Enterprise Architecture Governance (EAG) provides a structure for defining relevant strategies and compliance processes. This Level 3 Communications case study presents a detailed framework composed of three essential components of EAG:
1) Organizational Accountability must be clearly defi ned for all EAG aspects, and executive sponsorship is essential. Level 3 formed an executive steering committee with broad representation, preventing EAG from becoming an IT-only initiative.
2) Strategy Defi nition provides the roadmap for business transformation initiatives. Architectural guiding principles defi ne values and offer input into strategies, end states define where the company is going, and roadmaps document how to get there from.
3) Compliance Processes ensure that development initiatives are in alignment with the strategic direction. Level 3 has created a framework that gives each development initiative an architecture rating that indicates its compliance level.

The 10 Essential Elements of a Well Aligned Sales and Marketing TeamJeff Leo Herrmann
Is your sales and marketing organization aligned for success? Today we reveal the 10 essential elements to sales and marketing team collaboration - leading to success.
Selling With Values and Integrity: Creating a Purpose-Driven Sales CultureIntegrity Solutions
Will the culture you build in the sales organization help you meet your 2020 goals? In the rush to embrace everything changing about the sales profession, it’s easy to overlook the enduring qualities that have always been true of great salespeople, and that are often embodied in culture. These include the ability to engender buyers’ trust, and to build long term relationships vs. simply “going for the win.” These qualities are rooted in the personal and corporate values your customers perceive in sellers and the companies they represent.
Organizations that are purpose-driven - with strong, values-based sales cultures - wield significant competitive advantages and often grow faster than those that are not. Their customers are more loyal and would tell others to buy from their companies. And they achieve higher profitability per customer and compete more favorably for talent. Salespeople who derive meaning from their work report almost twice the job satisfaction and are three times more likely to stay with their organization. By putting values at the center of their sales processes, organizations are generating strong tailwinds that push sellers to greater levels of motivation and achievement drive. And they create brands that are enduring and memorable.
This webinar presents evidence on culture's economic value, while offering a step-by-step approach to establishing a more values-based sales culture that elevates passion, drive, differentiation and revenues.

It provides examples of companies with aligned marketing and sales outperforming others and lists 6 steps to implement accountability, including defining goals and metrics and setting up governance. The overall message is that accountability is needed for marketing to be an effective business driver.

cohort of high net worth clients.
Unfolding structural shift in the industry; clients

to adopt new forms of marketing. Growth worth status requires greater skill,
greater effort and significantly higher
costs.
Dilemma

and a flat decade of performance causing Increasing regulatory and compliance requirements

investors to rethink who should manage their

13. Build a Convergence-based Marketing Strategy
Leveraging the best of the old with the best of the new Growth Driven
The strategy outlined in this presentation is the convergence of two proven marketing tactics; referral networking and content marketing. It offers a
systematic approach to generating word of mouth as a comprehensive marketing strategy. In a larger sense, it proposes a new and better way of
doing business.

14. Leverage the Influence of Trusted Referral Networks
Focus your marketing on where your target clients congregate Growth Driven
The greatest sources of affluent prospects are affluent clients and their professional advisors (collateral professionals such as
accountants and lawyers). No other sources come close. These two methods have been the drivers of new client growth for
decades. Other referral sources have also demonstrated success, including strategic partnerships, direct relationships with local
journalists/media and more recently online social networks and organic search rankings (Google). The key is that all have influence
with your target audience, through a direct recommendation, practice advocacy or online ranking. I strongly believe that you can
build your entire marketing strategy around a set of formal referral networking tactics.

15. Content Marketing as the Driver
Establish your authority in your chosen area of expertise Growth Driven
The most successful marketers today tend to be part marketer and part publisher. They generate an ongoing stream of high quality
content to demonstrate their expertise. Content marketing is the process of creating video, blogs, articles, ebooks, how-to-guides,
social media updates, picture galleries, infographics, webinars or other forms of media about your practice. Ultimately, you’re building
a leadership position for your practice as a trusted resource in specific topics.

You are your biggest advantage Growth Driven
“The art of marketing strategy is knowing how to take pieces from others’ success and creating your own.” – David Finley

The positioning map above is for example purposes only. Advisors should consider the competitive landscape they wish to compete in and map accordingly.
22. Step Three è Designing Brand Identity
Branding isn’t about market share, it’s about mindshare Growth Driven
“A brand image is not simply a trademark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality
profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service.” – Danie J. Boorstin

22
23. The Big Idea
Identify a single, big, unifying idea that inspires all stakeholders to get engaged Growth Driven
Think Different – Arguably one of the best “big ideas” in history. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple
in 1998 he needed an idea, a campaign that reflected the philosophy he thought had to be reinforced
within the company he once co-founded, but which was struggling at the time he came back … and the
rest is history.
“Apple isn't like other companies. It doesn't follow the rules. And the essence of the company
isn't any more complicated than that. And so was born Think different.”
- Ken Segall
What is your big idea that best captures you and what you stand for?

24. Step Four è Content and Marketing Hub
Produce valuable content that attracts your audience and engages them Growth Driven
“Content is marketing.” – David Finley

26. Step Five è Finding and Reaching Your Audience
Promote yourself without pestering people Growth Driven
Self-promotion is the key to advisor marketing success. Your goal is to be recognized as a leading authority in your chosen field. You
must market yourself to achieve that.
I. Find your target clients II. Leverage the influencers III. Take an integrated approach

27. Leverage the Influencers
The foundation of the trusted referral is your connection to those who can influence Growth Driven
Find your target audience through your networks
A multi-dimensional referral networking strategy should be your primary means of reaching your
target audience. It is generally the most effective and efficient model.
Transferred trust is the power of the referral and why it’s so much easier and quicker for advisors
to win business from referrals than any other method.

loner and don’t interact with others very often it is hard for your ideas to spread. The size and breadth of your real

you the means to engage actively in the conversation.
