About Value: The Four Cornerstones Of Corporate Finance

Product Description An accessible guide to the essential issues of corporate finance While you can find numerous books focused on the topic of corporate finance, few offer the type of information managers need to help them make important decisions day in and day out. Value explores the core of corporate finance without getting bogged down in numbers and is intended to give managers an accessible guide to both the foundations and applications of corporate finance. Filled with in-depth insights from experts at McKinsey & Company, this reliable resource takes a much more qualitative approach to what the authors consider a lost art.

From the Inside Flap Praise for VALUE "Value will help senior leaders and their boards act on bold ideas for creating value in the businesses they lead. The four principles of value creation are a concise guide to growing and shaping companies." —Ed Breen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tyco International Ltd. "In a complex business world, we shouldn't overlook the relatively simple financial principles that underlie the creation of long-term shareholder value. This book gives corporate leaders a clear base of knowledge for creating and sustaining value under any economic, industry, or company circumstances." —Dominic J. Caruso, Chief Financial Officer, Johnson & Johnson "More than a handbook, this is the bible of value creation. It should be read by corporate leaders across the entire spectrum. It also reminds us not to ignore the abiding financial principles that guide companies to long-term value creation." —Stefan Krause, Chief Financial Officer, Member of the Management Board, Deutsche Bank AG "A valuable source of guidance for business leaders who are focused on creating real, lasting value." —Mark Loughridge, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Finance and Enterprise Transformation, IBM Corporation "A very useful, no-nonsense guide for creating shareholder value. Competition, capital structure, acquisitions, buybacks, dividends, and more—it's all here with straightforward principles and examples." —Keith S. Sherin, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, General Electric Company "If more owners and executives had the overriding objective of long-term value creation—and enough knowledge about how to create it—then our financial world would be a more stable one." —Rajiv Singh, Vice Chairman, DLF Limited "Value cuts through clutter and myopia to provide a sound foundation for leaders who are building enterprises that thrive and serve society." —Daniel Vasella, MD, Chairman, Novartis AG From the Back Cover From the team behind Valuation—the #1 bestselling reference on corporate finance—comes a decision-making guide for all executives to use as they create, manage, and sustain shareholder value. Corporate leaders are regularly confronted with conventional wisdom and half-truths about value creation. They're given conflicting advice about what will or won't appeal to investors, often contradicting their own judgment about what builds lasting worth in their companies and the economy. In Value: The Four Cornerstones of Corporate Finance, partners from the management consulting firm of McKinsey & Company describe the basic principles of value creation and their relevance. Internalizing these principles—or cornerstones—gives decision makers the independence and courage they need to challenge conventional wisdom, defy half-truths, and build thriving businesses.
