About this title

Synopsis:

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

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:

• establishing the true cost of your capital
• the market's preference for judging performance on cash flow rather than profit and loss
