  • Publication number: 20030225652
    Abstract: A method and computer program product is provided for analyzing and projecting the future investment value of a business organization, such as a publicly-traded corporation. The method includes the assignment of a first score to the business organization based on one or more factors related to the corporate governance of the organization, including chief executive officer (CEO) compensation, outside director shareholdings, merger and acquisition (M&A) decisions, and accounting and audit practices. A second score is assigned to the business organization based on the past performance of the organization. The first and second scores are then correlated to provide a third score, which indicates a projected investment value of the business organization. The results may then be stored in a database and provided to an end user via a data network, such as the Internet, or stored on a computer useable medium, such as a floppy disk, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.
