Abstract
This paper explores two companies, Nestle and Alcon. The paper also briefly describes the decision based method of analyzing a case study. Since the case study is a decision based, the paper briefly describes the four options available for listing Alcon in the stock market (Desai, Dessain & Sjaman 2006, p 6-7).

Finally, the paper discusses the risks involved in each recommendation and alternative plans available for each recommendation, taking in to consideration of each recommendation.
Key words: Nestle, Alcon, Listing, Decision based, Action Plan
Stock Market Decision to List Alcon
The case study provides four options in order to make a decision concerning the listing of Alcon Company. The CEO of Alcon Company, Brabeck decided to list the company in the stock market so the whole financial world would recognize its value (Desai et al., 2006, p4). The four options that were considered by the stock market decision to list Alcon were Swiss stock market, American Depository Receipt (ADR), U. S. Stock Markets and Dual listing (Swiss and U.S. stock Markets).
From the above options, finance criterion, Return on Investment (ROI) can be used.
By using the first option, Swiss Listing, the company can gain a lot and the ROI would be high through the simplification of relationship between Alcon and Nestle. With the dual listing, the ROI would not be so much high since the company would incur a lot of expenses in registering in both countries. With the U. S. listing, Alcon Company can gain average income since it would not incur a lot of expenses in listing in one country. Finally, the last option, American Depository Receipt (ADR), would not result to high ROI due to the fact that the method is most applicable with foreign companies (Desai et al., 2006, p6-7). The best option would be listing Alcon in Swiss Stock Market.
