1. SHAREHOLDERS' MEASURE

where

where is the share price in year N is the inflation index in year N is the dividend in year N is share price - highest value for the year N is share price - lowest value for the year N

Note: All figures adjusted for scrip and rights issues.

2. RISK MEASURE

R = PV1o + PV71 · · • PV!«I where PV = share price variance 11

3. GROWTH IN SALES

( Sxo X ~70 ) - S7o Tc = !«I x 100 570

262 Appendix D 263 where SN = sales in yearN IN = inflation index in year N

4. GROWTH IN EFFICIENCY

(PI«') (P7n) E = ci«J C7o X 100

where PN = profit before interest and tax CN = capital employed Appendix E Comparison of Category and Herfindahl Systems

Classification by strategic category and corresponding Herfindahl Index is shown below for a random sample of fifty companies. n The Herfindahl Index is calculated from D = 1 - :S p? i=l where p; is the proportion of turnover attributable to each two-digit SIC product group or activity. Category classifications are identified by the following:

VS = Vertical Single VD = Vertical Dominant VR = Vertical Related S = Single Business D = Dominant Business RC = Related Constrained RL = Related Linked U = Unrelated Business The table below identifies the randomly selected company by Company Number• see Appendix B. It also gives the strategic classification for 1970 and 1980 and the D value, as calculated above for the same years. Significant variations in strategic posture are indicated by ( +) or (-) signs with ( +) referring to increased levels of diversification and (-) referring to reduced levels. In this instance significant variations are considered as a move of at least one category in the classification system and a change of at least 0.1 (i.e. 10 per cent) in the value of D for the Herfindahl system. Since the Herfindahl system is not really designed to be sensitive to changes m Vertical Integration any such changes identified by the classification system (e.g. 'VS' to 'S') have been ignored, so that comparison remains valid.
