Financial Management
Recommendation of Acquisition Target
SGH Warszawa Winter 2012
An example of the Motorola Solutions
In the following three pages I will give main reasons for investing into this company. I’m going to use key figures presented the book Financial Management – Principles and Applications (10th Edition) by Arthur J. Kewon et al. referring to chapters 1 – 10. I’m going to focus on the analyzing part of key elements of the balance sheet. I chose this company because it used to be one of the leaders in different sphere, but once it failed to compete, instead of going out of business, it was divided by 2 companies. And to my mind, Motorola is the best example of perfect decision making.
My recommendations: This Company is up to date provider and developer of high-end electronic services with growing potential. Hold the shares in the company as it’s rising and developing fast! BUY!
