A Model for Ranking Stock Exchange Agencies

Ranking companies can illustrate their conditions vis-à-vis their competitors. It can also show their strong and weak points and pinpoint the opportunities and threats coming from outside. The important thing, however, is the ranking model and the mathematical operations suitable for ranking.The significance of stock exchange agencies urged us to analyze their performance through a field study. To attain the stated model we first gave a definition of the principles necessary for assessing the performance of agencies by referring to the experts in the field and the agencies themselves. Furthermore, the companies were asked to state the degree of importance of each principle by filling in a questionnaire.The results show that factors like financial matters, customers, internal processes, innovation and development, personnel and management are effective in the ranking.It’s important to notice that no priority exists among these factors and the occasional statistical figures given by the agency for the ranking of those companies are not suitable for judgement. The research is a step toward offering a criterion to investors so that they could elect a better representative for investment.
