Introduction
Media, investing public, regulatory agencies & politicians concern
with the credibility associated of brokerage firms & their security
analysts
Human capital analysis has implications beyond the field of HRM
It is essential to the work of security analysts
Current analytical techniques rely heavily on analysis of financial
data to create models
Most models use lag indicators of past performance rather than
lead indicators of future performance
Human capital analysiss role in future analyses of the intangible
drivers of the value of a firm

HUMAN CAPITAL
It refers to the sustainability of people management
systems which are likely to have an impact
on the share price of a firm
Sustainable human resource management systems
are those which are internally consistent, consistent
with the firms corporate strategy & consistent with
the broader context in which the firm is operating
Objective
To establish the correlation between the use of
analytical techniques to be adopted by security
analysts to provide a clearer picture of organizations.
These techniques are needed in order to analyze
human capital which is linked to future financial
performance.
To establish the benefits from embedding human
capital analysis alongside financial analysis
Securities analyst
Employed by brokerage firms, banks or investment banking
institutions
Occupational knowledge-intensive specialists
Elite of the Equities business in terms of knowledge base & intellect
ROLE:
To conduct thorough research investigation into all aspects of the
current & prospective financial condition of publicly-listed companies
To provide analysis in the form of a research report, which serves as
the basis for making an investment recommendation
Involved in continual cycle of data collecting on an industry or
individual company from customers, suppliers, & management
Systems theory
The fundamental analysis approach is consistent with the systems view of
the organization.
A firm is seen in context of its broader environment, internal and external
connections and interdependencies.
Most complex systems respond to their environment, adapt and often become
even more complex as they continue to evolve.
Standard quantitative analysis does not account for this increase in complexity.
Organizations can be seen as having elements of both closed and open systems
and being interdependent with the community and the context in which it
operates.
Some value creating capabilities of the organization do not appear in traditional
financial analysis by securities analysts.

Challenges
Measuring knowledge in an organization is more than number of hours in training
sessions or number of patents held.
They are mistaken for knowledge itself, but, knowledge genuinely exists only
when it is used in context of communication processes between people.
Hence, qualitative human capital tools need to be used in conjunction with
quantitative financial tools in order for the observer to understand and see
organizational culture as a variable in predicting future performance of the firm.
This requires a high level of understanding of organizations cultural issues such
as interpersonal communication, both formal and informal.
In a regulatory environment, such as Australia, companies are compelled to
provide continuous disclosure of share price sensitive information.
In such a competitive environment for securities analysts, it is important that nonfinancial data must be accessed and analysed in a systematic and valid manner
in order to make more transparent recommendations.

Qualitative analyses adopt many organizational techniques including
interview of management staff, focus groups surveys, archival and
documentary sources.
Qualitative research tend to highlight complexity of issues surrounding the
drivers of the value of the firm.
Security analysts adopting multiple sources of evidence increase
transparency of any research products.
Ethical or social investment funds.
Sustainable people centric practices encourage organizational membership,
attract and retain talent which in turn drives financial performance

A study by Collins(2001) compared companies in the same industry using
methodology which was a combination of traditional financial analysis and a
selection of qualitative approaches.
He screened companies using fortune 500 data, then CRSP data, then by industry
and was left with 11 companies which demonstrated long term sustainability of
both financial and human capital.
Visionary companies invested heavily in management practices and human capital
like training, recruiting and professional development of staff, R&D and property
and plant, and they outperformed their no visionary counterparts on all key
financial measures.
A major study by Turner and Crawford (1998) of 243 case studies in Australia and
new Zealand to determine the capabilities that drive corporate renewal found that a
specific cluster of competencies affect performance including business
technology, market responsiveness, performance management,
engagement and development of employees, which are all examples of
performance related capabilities.
Researchers such as Royal(2000), Collins(2001), Dunphy(2000), Turner and
Crawford(1998), Watson Wyatt worldwide research(2002) use rigorous qualitative
17
techniques to provide evidence for their findings on the positive relationship

Creating a complementary equity research product will result in
more transparent investment recommendations to minimize
the risk of miscalculating earning estimates.
Implementation of the above approach can be done in three
ways:
1- Undertaking additional former degree qualifications in
human capital analysis.
2- Brokerage firms could buy competencies and skills
from external labour market.
3- Brokerage firms could buy a qualitative complimentary
research product from independent research services firm.
22
Continued..
To increase the quality of information available to investors
more emphasis should be kept on Human Capital Analysis.
Sophisticated skills in qualitative research aids analysts to
systematically access non-financial data in making earnings
forecasts.
Also, Securities analysts should have high levels of
competency in non-traditional analytical techniques to assess
share price sensitive areas.
23
Conclusion
Theorists such as Delery and Harris and Ogbonna emphasise the
importance of understanding the mediating variables between
strategic human resource management and performance.
Valid data on human resource management practices is to be
provided to securities analysts in order for Human Capital Analysis to
be effective.
Evidence indicates that qualitative research is currently not
systematically adopted by securities analysts.
Truly transparent stock recommendations require both qualitative
human capital analysis and traditional, quantitative financial
analysis.
