Abstract

This case invites students to assess the financial performance of FedEx Corp and United Parcel Service, Inc, two firms that have long competed for dominance in the overnight delivery industry. The case is designed to introduce students to corporate value creation and its sources. It requires no numerical computations; instead, it asks the student to interpret the results and to reflect upon their implications.
