Write about the company's history in the introduction of the paper. Go to the company's home page online and click on either the "history" or "about us" icon commonly found on most websites. Highlight when the company was founded, by whom and in what location. Explain what factors contributed to the company's growth. For example, if writing about Ford Motor Company, explain how the ingenuity of Ford's assembly line and "just-in-time" inventory methodology contributed to efficient production. Many times this information is found in the Annual Report, which is posted on most websites of publically held companies.
Provide some information on the leadership of the company, at least the top 5 individuals. Information that I am looking for includes (but is not limited to) tenure with the company, where they were before coming to this company etc. These would be the top five paid employees, not outside directors. You may include outside directors (if relevant), but the requirement is top 5 paid executives.
