Yokogawa Electric Corporation AND THE TWO: Global Gap Analysis And Labor Productivity Benchmarks Published SAN DIEGO, CA -- – ICON Group International Ltd. today released two of the most comprehensive studies to date on vertical gap analysis and labor productivity benchmarks for Yokogawa Electric Corporation (AMS, OSA, TYO, OTH: 6841). The methodologist for this unique study is Philip Parker, Eli Lilly Chair Professor of Innovation, Business and Society at INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France and Singapore). According to Professor Parker “We created these reports in response to two inescapable trends: a return to fundamentals and globalization.” The goal of these reports is to assist consultants, financial managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging indicators of Yokogawa Electric Corporation’s financial and human resource structure. The Report has benchmarked Yokogawa Electric Corporation against competing firms in the Computer and Office Equipment industry worldwide—going beyond traditional methods of company benchmarking. The results are two specialized reports: (1) global financial benchmarks using common-size statement ratios (vertical analysis), and (2) labor-productivity and utilization measures collected across borders. Parker notes, “With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of barriers to entry, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company’s financial indicators on a worldwide basis.” Professor Parker states, "We are intrigued by the wide variations in basic financial and productivity measures between Yokogawa Electric Corporation and other Computer and Office Equipmentcompanies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for example, varied from -6.31 to 117.7. We see this type of variation in the hundreds of ratios that we estimate.” What? : The Coverage of the Reports Two reports, financial ratios and labor productivity ratios, are available for Yokogawa Electric Corporation. Each report reveals productivity and industry ranks for companies in the Computer and Office Equipmentindustry. Reports for 89 of Yokogawa Electric Corporation’s competitors in Computer and Office Equipmentare also available including:
The reports answer such questions as: How has Yokogawa Electric Corporation’s asset structure varied compared to global benchmarks for the Computer and Office Equipmentindustry? Does it generally hold more cash and other short-term assets, or does it tend to concentrate its assets in physical plant and equipment? On the liability side, does Yokogawa Electric Corporation typically have a higher percent of payables compared to the benchmarks, or does it hold a higher concentration of long-term debt? Does Yokogawa Electric Corporation have a relatively higher cost of goods sold, operating costs, or income taxes compared to global benchmarks? Have Yokogawa Electric Corporation’s returns on equity been higher or its profit margins greater? What has been the ratio of short-term and long-term assets to employee? What are typical capital-labor ratios? What are the average sales and net profits per employee compared to global benchmarks? How? : The Methodology Most vertical analyses merely focus on benchmarking against domestic ratios, often published by government agencies or commercial sources. In contrast, the report calculates thousands of industry norms by looking at firms at the global level, pooling statistics on tens of thousands of companies across over 40 countries, and applying a seven-stage methodology: (1) identification of industry classifications, (2) firm-level data collection and aggregation, (3) standardization of raw statistics, (4) filtering outliers, (5) calculation of global norms, (6) projection of deviations and gaps, and (7) projection of ranks and percentiles. For each part of the financial statement, the larger structural differences and gaps between Yokogawa Electric Corporation and the global benchmarks are provided with summary tables of ranks and percentiles. Previously available only through booksellers such as Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and Hoovers, two studies are now available direct from the publisher at a 50% discount off the cover price. This special offer includes International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis and Labor Productivity Benchmarks and International Gap Analysis at US$ $420 ($210 each).
