Drawing on their extensive experience as senior partners at PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the authors of In Search of Shareholder Value present a complete framework for value creation, encompassing seven key value drivers: sales, operating profit margin, cash tax rate, working capital, fixed assets, cost of capital, and growth duration period. The rules for maximizing shareholder value have changed. This book is your complete guide to the new realities -- and to the changing expectations that both institutional and individual investors have for corporations today. Drawing on first-hand experience, and endorsed by company leaders from Frito-Lay to Lloyds of London, this book offers clear-eyed analyses of the tradeoffs between risk and shareholder return -- and step-by-step "how-to" guidance for transforming strategies into higher share prices.
