Hello buddy,
let's work together to figure it out, OK?
I assume you'd better define your performance first.
Corporate level? section level? support level or individual level?
For a issuer, or a group issuers, your criteria should be straight forward and concise.
Second, you may get a list of relevant independent variables.
You may ask your professors or your supervisors to verify those correlation.
Or
just based on your intuition.
The last step is to build a model and feed it with your data.
Don't draw any conclusion before you get solid evidence that there does exist such relationship.
I believe the first step is the most challenging one.
To find a professional and convincing standard is a little time consuming job.
I recommend you use a simple but powerful criterion.
EPS? ROE? ROA? or eva?
You'd better develop your debate for that.
For a volatile world, five years is long enough,
I will use three years, since it will provide closer guidance.
Spreadsheet, jmp is powerful enough to get the job done.
I hope it helps.
Good luck.
