Real-world guidelines for implementing EVA
Today's Most Comprehensive and Unbiased Evaluation of Value-Based Management and EVA
Economic Value Added (EVA) and Value Based Management (VBM), despite persistent claims to the contrary, are not magic wands, guaranteeing instant success.

And as with any tools, users will achieve the greatest success only by learning and understanding both their strengths and weaknesses.

It provides in-depth coverage of the key steps in implementing EVA, including:
