Product Description
Product Description
This text shows readers what to do to achieve maximum shareholder value on a continuous basis, and how to do it.
From the Author
Capturing all the value, with specific actions
Maximising shareholder value-- which is quite different from trying to merely create 'some' value-- is the CEO's mandate. Even well-managed corporations underperform in value terms by up to 50%, and those leaders who fail to meet the value improvement face a short time in office. PR bluster about 'achieving shareholder value' today marks the company that relies on bluff rather than solid achievement.
Maximising shareholder value-- which is quite different from trying to merely create 'some' value-- is the CEO's mandate. Even well-managed corporations underperform in value terms by up to 50%, and those leaders who fail to meet the value improvement face a short time in office. PR bluster about 'achieving shareholder value' today marks the company that relies on bluff rather than solid achievement.
An action-based approach (as described in The Value Mandate, with considerable industry-specific detail) represents a key departure from myopic focus on value measures and partially effective incentives alone. Focusing on the metric instead of major value improvement is confusing the speedometer of the car for its engine. Right-thinking managers understand the action imperative for value and are pursuing the programmes and approaches described here, including examples from the archives of VBM Consulting, a leading thought and practice leader participant in the international shareholder value consulting field.

Innovation and Value,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Value Mandate: Maximizing Shareholder Value Across the Corporation (Hardcover)
Pete Clark and Steve Neill have written an excellent book on value creation, covering the subject from the viewpoint of each of the major sources of corporate value. My special interest is R&D and innovation, and I find their chapter on why internal development is both mandatory and unaffordable to be an extremely perceptive insight into a major value trap. Equally valuable is their fine psychological profile of CEO's who try to manage R&D by "managing the R&D manager". Clark and Neill know that "The corporation with a reasonably predictable innovation stream controls its destiny." This book is eminently readable, lively, and quite well-documented.

A great value book,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Value Mandate: Maximizing Shareholder Value Across the Corporation (Hardcover)
This book really stands head and shoulders above other books on value creation.The emphasis in The Value Mandate is on ACTIONS to improve shareholder value rather than merely a regurgitation of well known measurement techniques. The book is a must read for anyone who wants to take practical measures to improve the performance of their company. I now not only understand the maths of value, I know how to do something about it! |
