ABSTRACT. The analysis of organizational performance is the most important focus facing international investment whereas the means by which such assessment can be undertaken is varied. Neural Network (NN) and multivariate analysis are the two most vital financial modeling techniques in the assessment of multinationals, which are compared in this important research paper. The assessment of financial success or otherwise is undertaken of 60 global multinationals over a ten year period. The results determine that both models are unique in their immense ability to predict international organizational performance where the NN model has an almost perfect level of performance prediction and assessment.
