Worksheet #3

Exploring Company Reports on your TNC

Some possible ways to find company reports:

• The TNC website may itself have back issues of summary reports.

• If the company is a publicly held corporation (listed on the stock market), then one option is to call the company's shareholder relations office and ask if they have an annual report. Look up the contact information and record it on your submitted homework:

Company name:

Contact name or office:

Phone number:

• Search the internet further for reports at the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) website http://www.sec.gov or at http://www.FreeEdgar.com

• Private companies have to file a brief report with the Secretary of State's Dept. of Corporations, and to access these reports call the relevant Department of Corporations.

List the titles and sources for your company reports as sources for the following report.  (You should obtain 3 or 4 reports.)

Write a one page report on the corporation's goals and missions.  Provide a review of how it is presenting itself to the public and to different agencies and how this aligns with the globalization explored in worksheet #2.
