You have been asked to evaluate Company A and Company B and make your recommendation for acquiring one or both companies. Based on your initial assessment, you have created balanced scorecards for both companies. You are now ready to analyze the information you have gathered so far about the two companies so that you can compare the costs, benefits, and risks associated with acquiring each company and make a well-informed decision.
In this milestone, you will first analyze the current situation of TransGlobal Airlines using the given data and other sources to understand their business environment. You will also evaluate the performance of Company A and Company B using the balanced scorecards you created in Milestone One.
