Today's most comprehensive and unbiased evaluation of Value-Based Management and EVA Economic Value Added (EVA) and Value Based Management (VBM), despite persistent claims to the contrary, are not magic wands, guaranteeing instant success. Instead, they are a set of management tools - powerful tools, to be sure, proven to work in case after case - for creating and augmenting shareholder value. And as with any tools, users will achieve the greatest success only by learning and understanding both their strengths and weaknesses."EVA and Value Based Management" is the first book to fully explain all sides of EVA and VBM, and cover the critical factors in harnessing EVA and VBM to build shareholder value.
