Book Description

Why do some firms create extraordinary value for shareholders, while others destroy it? A powerful suite of value based management tools can make the difference. Value based management (VBM) refers to tools that financial managers can use to plan, monitor, and control a firm's operations in ways that enhance shareholder value. This timely book--based on the authors' research and on an extensive study of firms that have successfully implemented VBM systems--provides the first objective, field-tested synthesis of the most popular models in use today: the free cash flow method, the economic value added/market value added (EVA/MVA) method, and the cash flow return on investment approach (CFROI). Pointing to lessons learned by VBM adopters in a wide variety of industries, the authors outline the advantages and disadvantages of each model, and guide managers in electing, implementing, and operating one that best fits their organization.
At its essence, value based management involves transforming behavior in a way that encourages employees to think and act like owners. Laying the foundation for building a capital market-focused measurement and reward system that ties employee-level performance to owner-level rewards, this book will help today's leaders establish a continuous cycle of value creation that benefits all stakeholders of a company.


Editorial Reviews

Review


"Martin and Petty have written the clearest, most up-to-date book yet on value based management. They cut through the hype to focus on the link between operational and financial choices and shareholder value. I highly recommend this book to corporate managers focused on approaches to corporate value creation."--Tim Opler, Principal, WR Hambrecht & Co.


"Martin and Petty effectively explain for the corporate financier why maximizing shareholder value is not the same as maximizing earnings per share. This is a book for anyone looking to add value to their business, no matter what the circumstances." --Donald Chew, Partner, Stern Stewart & Co., and Editor of the Bank of America Journal of Applied Corporate Finance


"By integrating real-world examples with academic literature, Martin and Petty highlight the promises and perils of value based management in a detailed yet comprehensible manner. This book will appeal to anyone interested in understanding innovations in corporate practice as managers pursue the goal of enhancing shareholder value."--Stuart L. Gillian, Research Economist, TIAA-CREF Institute and Former Associate Chief Economist, United States Securities and Exchange Commission

5.0 out of 5 stars VBM for Starters, March 23, 2001

This review is from: Value Based Management: The Corporate Response to the Shareholder Revolution (Hardcover)
Martin's book is an excellent introduction to the practice of Value Based Management. Although it is far from being an MBA type book, it explains the basics and shows some good examples. Maybe the strongest point of the book is the comparison of several approaches used by the biggest consulting companies sponsoring VBM: Stern Stewart's EVA versus BCG's and McKinsey's measures. When you're ready to climb another step, the best choice is Young and O'Byrne's "EVA and Value Based Management". It goes deep in details of implementation of EVA based systems, is comprehensive and technically advanced and also give pros and cons of the measure.
