      - Built financial models to assess the projects’ internal rate of return and predict future cashflow- Communicated with a targeted hotel in Japan to get information that could not be obtained on the internet but essential for building the financial model for this case - Simplified complex Japanese documents and retrieved important data that was not available in English or Chinese - Allowed team members to understand and fill in the missing assumptions into the financial model - Prepared business plans that fully detailed the investment plan, trend, and the current market conditions - The business plan showed that not only does the investment gives a negative rate of return, but also that the market is saturated and future growth is very limited- Market research and competitor analysis - Side by side in-depth comparison between the target hotel and the similar hotels that are in the same region - Updated the firm’s cloud database for industry reports and forecasts so that financial modelers can use more accurate values for their assumptions Show less
