A few years after its foundation, Montevideo became the main city of the region north of the Río de la Plata and east of the Uruguay River, competing with Buenos Aires for dominance in maritime commerce. In 1776, Spain made Montevideo its main naval base (Real Apostadero de Marina) for the South Atlantic, with authority over the Argentine coast, Fernando Po, and the Falklands.

Product Description
The goal of this report is to assist managers in gauging a company's financial performance vis--vis firms competing in the same sector, at the global level.In particular, this report covers AIRPORT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC., OVERLAND PARK, USA.

With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's performance against other firms on a worldwide basis.Doing so, however, is not an obvious task.First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector.Second, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility.Finally, one needs use comparable financial standards.This report overcomes these issues and gives full financial benchmarks vis--vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover assets, liabilities, income and ratios.Since our reports are printed on demand, the figures available are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 reports are produced each year). ...

Product Description
Are the combined human resources at AUCKLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LTD. productive?There is no absolute answer to this question. This report considers the extent to which the company's labor deployment indicators differ from global benchmarks.In this report we consider forecasts of differences between labor ratios and the resulting return on this human investment compared to global benchmarks; the estimation of such differences is commonly called a "gap analysis."What is the ratio of short-term and long-term assets to employee?What are typical capital-labor ratios?How different are these ratios to companies serving the same link in the value chain? What are the average sales and net profits per employee compared to global benchmarks?These and over 50 other indicators of labor productivity are considered in this report.The report does so by going beyond traditional analyses by considering companies competing in the same or similar industrial classification at a global level.The goal of this report, therefore, is to assist consultants, human resource managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging estimates of a company's human resource indicators compared to firms competing or participating in the same economic sector, at the global level.This report is not about whether a particular company or industry has performed well or poorly in the past or will do so in the future.With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's human resource indicators against other firms on a worldwide basis.Doing so, however, is not an obvious task.First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector, but not necessarily competing directly with the company in local markets.These firms should not be perceived, therefore, to be direct competitors to the company in question, but simply those that have been classified by various sources (e.g. EDGAR or similar foreign filings), as competing to serve customers in the same link of the value chain, or broad industrial classification, as identified by SIC, NAICS or similar codes. Second, given the international nature of the task, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility.Finally, one needs use comparable financial standards.This report overcomes these issues and gives full human resources benchmarks vis-a-vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover labor-asset ratios, labor-liability ratios, and labor-income ratios.Since our reports are printed on demand, the statistics reported are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 updates are produced each year). Each report provides over 100 statistics and 40 graphs to the reader.This reports is on AUCKLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LTD., AUCKLAND, New Zealand. ... Read more

Product Description
John F. Kennedy International Airport opened in 1948, after the realization set in that the newly built LaGuardia Airport was unable to handle the volume of air traffic for New York City. Pushed through by New YorkÂ’s Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, the airport was to be located 14 miles from Manhattan, in Jamaica Bay, Queens, on the site of the old Idlewild Golf Course. For its first years, Idlewild Airport, as it was originally known, consisted of a low-budget temporary terminal and a series of Quonset huts. A major new building program began in the mid-1950s, and the airport rapidly changed from a ramshackle series of buildings into a glamorous-looking city. Renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport in 1963, it has now grown to cover 5,000 acres. ... Read more
