Product Description
This book is designed for human resources managers and directors of personnel who are concerned with labor productivity.It gives benchmarks and gap analyses used to gauge a company's performance vis--vis firms competing firms in the same sector, at the global level.In particular, this report covers CISCO SYSTEMS, INC., SAN JOSE, 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 human resources benchmarks vis--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 figures available are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 updates are produced each year). ...

Product Description
Though we heavily rely on historical performance, the figures reported in this report are not historical but are forecasts and projections for the coming fiscal year.The forecasts are updated quarterly.The source(s) for the various raw statistics include public filings, corporate releases, and various other data sources.
Given a company's financial structure, the resulting figures are benchmarked across "leading competitors".In choosing the leading competitors, Icon Group chooses only those firms with sound financial situations or those not undergoing radical restructuring, or where random volatility, mergers, or bankruptcy affects financial performance.
Since the calculation of competitors' labor ratios proceeds in a similar fashion, but are aggregated across all competitors, one can directly conduct a gap analysis.Here, Icon Group graphically reports, for each labor productivity area the larger gaps that the firm has vis-a-vis the leading competitors.A gap need not be a bad sign.Rather, it is simply a substantial difference that might merit further attention or signal a firm's relative strength or weakness for the coming fiscal year... ...

Product Description
Though we heavily rely on historical performance, the figures reported in this report are not historical but are forecasts and projections for the coming fiscal year.The forecasts are updated quarterly.This particular report was updated in the last quarter.In order to maintain comparability over time and across companies and countries, we use an index system.In the case of a firm's assets, we treat the total assets as equaling 100, irrespective of the value of the local currency.All other assets are then calculated as a percent from total assets.In this way, the structure of the firm's assets can be easily interpreted and compared with international benchmarks.For liabilities, total liabilities and equity are indexed to equal to 100.For the income statement, total revenue is indexed to equal 100, and all other figures are calculated as a percent of these figures.Ratios are projected using raw financial statistics and, as ratios, are therefore comparable.The source(s) for the various raw statistics include public filings, corporate releases, and various other data sources.
