Shareholder value can no longer be seen as the latest craze in the corporate classroom. It's grown up. It's redefining the syllabus by which we learn to profit or perish. It has moved into the mainstream of global corporate life where would-be winners can no longer afford to ignore it.Drawing on the experience of PricewaterhouseCoopers' worldwide network of companies and clients, this new edition of a best-selling title will provide you with the key to unlocking the secrets to real wealth creation. The impact of the information revolution, the integration of capital markets, and the increased ability of investors to compare and contrast corporate performance has put shareholder value high on the corporate agenda. These days, investors injecting money into your company are looking for a financial return as good as, if not better than, if they had invested in any other. Today's businesses need to maximize value for their shareholders or watch their share price plummet as investors vote with their feet and transfer their money and their trust into competitors' hands.Benefits In Search of Shareholder Value explains the concept of shareholder value and shows how it can help companies and their managers make better, more informed, and proactive decisions. It looks at the philosophy of value creation and at the global financial environment in which value-based management can thrive, and it transforms the insights of market analysts into management tools that can be used throughout the company to add genuine improvements to performance. The book covers every aspect of learning how to deliver value to your investors, including: introducing the basic concepts of shareholder value analyzing the theory and history behind shareholder value establishing the true cost of your capital the market's preference for judging performance on cash flow rather than profit and loss how shareholder value is being applied within emerging economies. principels of value-based management

Shareholder Value presents a powerful and useful toolkit of market-based perspectives, analytic approaches, valuation techniques, and specific financial metrics for use in everyday business life. The author helps a broad spectrum of professionals understand the salient points and real world implications of a 'value management' movement which has taken hold in many corporations in the United States and around the world. This movement is being supported by some of the major institutional investors who influence financial markets. The main goal of 'Shareholder Value' is to help working professionals grasp the concept of value 'creators' and 'destroyers', along with the implications. He also provides tools to measure the success (or failure) of major strategic and operational initiatives and enables corporate managers to understand how shareholder value is created, and then directs behaviour toward 'value-based' planning and action. Although mainly aimed at the professional market, 'Shareholder Value' will also be of use to students of business and finance as it is intended to provide a comprehensive foundation for important elements of business strategy and acquisition valuation, corporate financial analysis, capital investments, corporate financing and economic value based metrics.AUTHOR'S REVIEW:When developing this book, I strived to achieve the following: Provide the finance professional and student of finance with a comprehensive template of shareholder value concepts and techniques - geared toward use in a corporate setting Give the non-financial professional an understanding of the underpinnings and behavioural aspects of economic value management Outline and provide details of an effective process for implementing a value-based financial performance system within a corporation ...And, combine learning with enjoyable reading by presenting technical material through a story. The "story" and "characters" are unique features of Shareholder Value - A Business Experience. The reader can get an appreciation of the environment surrounding value-based management, along with challenges that arise when transitioning from traditional "accounting" performance (where earnings and earnings per share reign supreme) to "economic" performance (where cash flow and return on investment are emphasized). Characters occupying operating and staff roles have been created to represent people that those working inside companies (large, medium and small) may encounter and, also, to invoke some humour. Insights into how to function in different corporate roles can be gained by following the characters through the story. Presents a combination of analysis and case study in which a strong technical treatment is blended with a fictional case study to offer clarity and explanation A practical and effective implementation process for a comprehensive financial performance system Offers a perspective of the role of different corporate and business unit functions in the implementation of value-based financial performance within a company

The ultimate test of corporate strategy, the only reliable measure, is whether it creates economic value for shareholders. Now, in this substantially revised and updated edition of his 1986 business classic, Creating Shareholder Value, Alfred Rappaport provides managers and investors with the practical tools needed to generate superior returns. After a decade of downsizings frequently blamed on shareholder value decision making, this book presents a new and indepth assessment of the rationale for shareholder value. Further, Rappaport presents provocative new insights on shareholder value applications to: (1) business planning, (2) performance evaluation, (3) executive compensation, (4) mergers and acquisitions, (5) interpreting stock market signals, and (6) organizational implementation. Readers will be particularly interested in Rappaport's answers to three management performance evaluation questions: (1) What is the most appropriate measure of performance? (2) What is the most appropriate target level of performance? and (3) How should rewards be linked to performance? The recent acquisition of Duracell International by Gillette is analyzed in detail, enabling the reader to understand the critical information needed when assessing the risks and rewards of a merger from both sides of the negotiating table. The shareholder value approach presented here has been widely embraced by publicly traded as well as privately held companies worldwide. Brilliant and incisive, this is the one book that should be required reading for managers and investors who want to stay on the cutting edge of success in a highly competitive global economy.

CEOs and managers live and die by delivering superior performance to shareholders. This is why expectations-based management has been developed. Outperform with Expectations-Based Management (EBM) introduces a revolutionary new performance metric that links performance standards, performance measurement, and the achievement of performance. It's easy to say that if a CEO can get performance measurement right, then performance improvement will follow. But what is the "right" measure of performance, and how do you use it to improve performance? Authors Tom Copeland and Aaron Dolgoff answer these questions and many more, as they show you how to find the measure of performance that has the strongest link to the creation of wealth for the owners of both public and private companies. They answer the puzzle of why growth in earnings is not correlated with shareholder returns and explain the under- and over-investment traps. And they explain how clear communications to investors and managers alike improve value. The bottom line is that share prices go up when companies exceed expectations -- short-term and long-term -- of income statement and balance sheet performance and daily operating value drivers. Gain a complete understanding of EBM and discover how to do this, and much more, while staying competitive in an unforgiving business environment.

Measuring shareholder value has become crucial in the current economic environment, especially following the consistent pressure from institutional shareholders on companies to create shareholder value in an adverse economic environment. Maximizing the company’s value will make the company less appealing to hostile takeovers. Takeovers are a capital market mechanism designed to control the conflicts of interest between shareholders and managers of the company. In this study, the authors examine the best methods used in measuring shareholder value, and explore the process of shareholder value creation in the years prior and following the creeping takeover of Ivanhoe Mines by Rio Tinto Plc. The study is based on data and ratio analytics from ThomsonONE (Reuters), information that is publicly available through press releases, analyst coverage, and financial news. It also includes an in-depth analysis of the creeping takeover of Ivanhoe Mines by Rio Tinto Plc.
