The Preliminary Specification Part CIII (FM Part IX)
With the Financial Marketplace module of the Preliminary Specification the attempt to keep the producer within the financial market is the objective. As the answers to these questions are worked out in the market the producer will be able to participate and resolve the issues in their favor. The risks associated with taking too much time to resolve these issues will fall unfavorably on the producer.
Recently we discussed in the Petroleum Lease Marketplace module the factor that was developed in People, Ideas & Objects Preliminary Research report of Revenue Per Employee. I think it might be worthwhile to publish the producers Revenue Per Employee factor for the current and past periods, and include some of the future projections of where the producers factor is heading. This would provide the investors and bankers with an understanding of the innovative standing that the firm was expecting to maintain over the next few periods.
One of the attributes of Revenue Per Employee is that your history becomes a significant part of the calculation. If you have a poor factor then the performance of those fields will continue to affect your performance in the calculation from that point forward. Laggards remain laggards. To change requires significant and radical changes to the way the firm operates. Those firms that have a high factor are those that are able to truly state that they are innovative. And they have the benefit of that history in which they will be able to live off those high factors for the short and medium term. This factor can be a significant selling point, or alternatively, highlight the real stinkers.
The variance in the marketplace of the factor of Revenue Per Employee is truly remarkable. I haven’t run the calculations lately but to have a variance of five fold is not uncommon. When a producer has five times as much revenue per employee as its competitor then it reflects that something is fundamentally different in terms of what they are doing. As we stated in the Petroleum Lease Marketplace module, although not necessarily an overall reflection of innovativeness, the trajectory of the factor over a period of time is definitely a reflection of innovativeness, or not.
The Financial Marketplace should be a place where the factor of Revenue Per Employee should be highlighted and the trajectories promoted. I will leave it to the user community to determine where in the interface of the Financial Marketplace module to put it. I think the demand for capital in the global economy will continue to be substantial for the long term. In a capital intensive business those with the access to capital will have an advantage. And that advantage will go to those that can prove they are outperforming their competition on the basis of a more innovative footing.
