compare and contrast the stakeholder interests of owners and managers in decision making
using examples evaluate the significance of Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and other overall performance measures for the long-term sustainability of businesses
using examples examine the importance of earnings per share (EPS) as a measure of business performance
