Management (Strategic) 5700: Company Research
This specific course guide will help the students focus on understanding the key functional, business, and corporate decisions that affect the long-term position of the firm.
Company Research
A private company is held by a handful of people, often the founder and a few others. It does not sell stock to the general public, and therefore, does not have an obligation to disclose its financial information. Finding financial information on a private company can sometimes be difficult.
A public company, on the other hand, has sold a part of its business or its stock to the general public. By law it is required to disclose its financial information and file specific reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
