New project #1

I've recently started two new classes (marketing and accounting) and could use help brainstorming concepts for the group projects.

Project 1: We have to choose a publicly held company to analyze for accounting. The company should be relatively simple and easy to understand. For instance, it'd be easier to sort out the data for a smaller company that is doing all of its business in one type of industry. There are no other restrictions. Any suggestions? Don't say Google, Jet Blue, or Apple. I think everyone at Haas is already suffering from "Apple-fatigue." I need something creative... maybe a little wacky.

Oh the possibilities are endless. What industry interests you? Consumer Staples - co. like Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Chiquita Brands Intl, Consumer Discretionary - Build-A-Bear-Workshop, California Pizza Kitchen, Denny's, 1-800-Flowers, Hot Topic, Netflix, Healthcare, Financials (that would be boring) IT, Telecom. I can send you a spreadsheet of companies that are in the small cap universe of companies. That might help.
