26 Target s mind blowingly stupid rebates What is so disappointing about this is that people have made the decision, probably through an implied pressure, to do something that was mind-blowingly stupid, If we reported Target s performance as $53 million rather than $74 million, we would have said `this is a disappointing financial outcome... but we still think there has been progress in terms of the quality of the business.

62 Syndicate Assignment (30%) Each syndicate will have the opportunity to analyse brand management in one publicly listed company. This is a task that shareholders face and more particularly a task faced by the analyst community whose role is to advise shareholders. As the balance sheet is typically uninformative as a means of communicating brand health (and the health of other intangible assets), boards and top management have had to address the information asymmetry with investors by providing additional information. Thus, the Investor Relations sections of corporate websites have become the repository of important information. The information comes in many forms in addition to traditional financial reporting web casts, shareholder presentations and commentaries by the board and members of the top management team. In this exercise, we are going to engage with the data provided to investors through corporate web sites to develop a clearer understanding of performance, challenges and prospects for each firm s brands. Task Your syndicate will analyse the brands of a specific company identified at the start of the course. Your task is to review of the company s recent corporate reports / investor presentations available on the Investor Relations section of the company s web site. 1. Summarize the management of the company s brands to-date 2. Identify current challenges 3. Discuss the key initiatives the firm is implementing to address these challenges 4. Evaluate the medium term prospects for the brand(s) Deliverable A seven minute presentation to shareholders/potential shareholders (i.e., your peers followed by Q&A) on May 14 th.
