Book excerpt: Stochastic frontier analysis is employed for a comparison of value-added and traditional measures of performance. Results indicate value-added measures are not significantly different from traditional measures of performance and thus little if any information is gained by replacing traditional measures with value-added measures. However, value-added measures may be useful to managers for value creation decisions resulting in excess profits.

Download or read book Economic Value Added EVA Myths and Realities written by Jasvir S. Sura and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature regarding EVA has given assorted view, as stated by Lehen and Makhija (1997), "EVA is seen by its proponents as providing the most reliable year-to-year indicator of a market-based performance measure known as Market Value Added ... Despite wide interest in EVA, little is known empirically about the efficacy of this measure versus other measures of performance... The evidence from these studies is mixed, however, and has not be resolved the debate over performance measures." While accounting based performance measures such as net profit (PAT), earnings per share (EPS), return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA) and return on investment (ROIC) are among the most commonly used performance measures, they are often criticized for not taking into consideration the total cost of capital and for being unduly influenced by accrual-based accounting conventions. Stewart (1991) also support that such traditional measures as earning per share (EPS), return on equity (ROE), and return on investment (ROI) are misleading measures of corporate performance. But the empirical evidences about superiority of EVA over traditional matrices are mixed.
Download or read book Value Based Performance Measures written by Nils Eikelmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nils Eikelmann describes the framework conditions for the application of value-based performance measures and critically analyses selected ones. The disclosure of value-based performance indicators is important in order to demonstrate the successful management of a company and to satisfy the increasing information needs of investors. However, companies adapt the developed theoretical concepts of value-based performance measures to their practical needs and thus investors are no longer able to compare the performance of companies. In addition, there is a variety of different metrics from which companies can choose. The empirical study aims to reduce existing research gaps and is divided into three parts: the analysis of annual reports of selected European companies, the calculation of a standardised value-based performance measure and a value relevance study in the form of an association study.
Download or read book Company Performance and Measures of Value Added written by Marián Bešinský and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To success in changing business environment, every business executive needs to systematically evaluate the performance of a company as well as foresee future trends taking into account all relevant facts. He can use wide portfolio of available traditional methods and indicators, used in financial analysis, however, he needs to be open to new management approaches in this area. For long-term successful existence of the company, it is necessary that the company is able to generate the economic profit and value not only for owners but also for all the business stakeholders. The emerging value-based approaches overcome issues related to traditionally used methods, as the attention is shifted to economic profit that reflects implicit costs of equity capital. Thus, the methods look at the business performance from shareholder's point of view. Moreover, there is the empirical evidence, that the creation of shareholder's value is the condition for creation of wealth for all related stakeholders.
Download or read book A Comparison of Performance Measures for Finding the Best Measure of Business Entity Performance written by Akbar Javadian Kootanaee and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important goals of a business unit is creating value and wealth for its shareholders and attracting them for more investment. The success of management, and consequently the success of the business unit, is measured by the level of value created for its shareholders. Economic Value Added is a performance measure that is in essence related to the market value of a firm. This measure focuses on the ability of business organizations to create return beyond cost of shareholders equity based on certain risk. In this research, the interrelationship between EVA, Cash Flows, and Earning per Share is examined to find the best measure of business organizations performance. The reason for choosing traditional measures as Earning per Share and cash flow generated by operations is the high concern for profit making and liquidity in firms. The time period is between 2005 and 2009, and studied firms are listed companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In addition, a linear regression model is used for panel data, and analysis is done using Eviews. The results of the research show that EVA comparison to OCF and EPS is a more efficient measure than MV.
Download or read book Economic Value Added R Application to Portuguese Public Companies written by Susana M. Peixoto and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Value Added (EVA (R)) is a value-based performance measure developed by Stern Stewart amp; Co. that offers a means of measuring and communicating performance and that may be used in setting performance targets, paying bonus, and valuing capital projects or companies. Based on a survey of Portuguese public companies listed on the Lisbon Stock Exchange, research was carried out on the awareness and the utilization of various performance measures. The results indicate that managers elect performance measures based on net income. Yet more sophisticated measures such as EVA or CFROI are being increasingly adopted. The major contribution of this study is the analysis of the information content regarding Operating Income, Net Income and EVA, based on a sample of 39 Portuguese public companies during the period from 1995 to 1998. The main results suggest that EVA does not have more information content than traditional performance measures in explaining Equity Market Value. The relationship between EVA and Market Value Added (MVA), however, is statistically significant.
Download or read book Financial Performance Measures and Value Creation the State of the Art written by Daniela Venanzi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The choice of financial performance measures is one of the most critical challenges facing organizations. The accounting-based measures of financial performance have been viewed as inadequate, as firms began focusing on shareholder value as the primary long-term objective of the organization. Hence, value-based metrics were devised that explicitly incorporate the cost of capital into performance calculations. Despite the increasing emphasis on these value-based measures, no definitive evidence exists of which metric works better than others, and on the extent to which any of them is superior to traditional accounting measures. In this scenario, the objective of this book is contributing to the ongoing dialogue on the appropriateness of different financial performance measures, by providing a systematic and updated review of the major value-based measures, by highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses and by comparing the main international empirical evidence on their effectiveness. This book can be a powerful tool for guiding managers and graduate students in the “tangled forest” of the existing metrics, by providing them with the quick, but adequate knowledge for consistently adopting them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Economic Value-Added (EVA) is of recent origin. Considering its importance in the corporate world, it becomes vital to understand its role in shareholders' value creation and performance measurement for companies. The present study is an attempt to analyze the relationship between EVA and the traditional measures, i.e., Earnings Per Share (EPS), Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and Return on Net Worth (RONW). Using a sample of 50 companies listed on Nifty 50 index of National Stock Exchange, India from 2009-10 to 2013-14, the study ranks the select companies based on their mean EVA. The study concludes that there exists significant difference between the mean values of the considered variables of the select companies. It also reveals that ROIC has significant influence on EVA.
Download or read book Market Value Added and Economic Value Added written by D V. Ramana and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development in the Indian capital market, both in depth and breadth along with the increased awareness among the shareholders, has increased the pressure on the companies to consistently perform better. One of the indicators of such performance is the Market Value Added (MVA). Literature is replete with studies, which have tried to capture the behavior of MVA. Stewart (1991) claims that EVA is the ultimate proxy of MVA. Following Stewart (1991), several studies examined the relationship between EVA and MVA using the Stern Stewart-1000 data. Most of these studies found evidence to support Stewartamp;’s claim. Despite the popularity of the concept, very few studies have been undertaken to empirically test the ability of EVA to reflect or proxy the MVA of Indian companies. This study makes an attempt to fill the gap.This study empirically examines the relationship between MVA and EVA of the Indian companies . Though the focus of the paper is the relationship between EVA and MVA, it also tries to understand the relationship between MVA and other common accounting numbers like NOPAT, PAT, PBIT, and CFO The study indicates that there is no strong evidence to support Stern Stewartamp;’s claim that EVA is superior to the traditional performance measures in its association with MVA.

Download or read book Value Added Reporting and Research written by Ahmed Riahi-Belkaoui and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1999-12-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear that value added methods provide relevant, useful information for financial analysis, market valuation, and financial decision making in corporate settings. Value added methods can be used in ratio analysis, in the determination of earnings as an earnings management tools, and can be substituted for earnings in equity valuation. When included in a wealth measurement it can vastly improve the quality of decision making. Riahi-Belkaoui covers these topics and more. His book is a probing, essential examination of what the latest value added methods are and what they can do, not only for accounting professionals but for academics and top corporate management as well. Value added reporting is popular in most European countries and in New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia. Most emerging countries are using it too, or considering it. Riahi-Belkaoui explicates latest developments in value-added practice and research, first covering the meaning of the concept, the history behind value added's development and its implied advantages and disadvantages. He then covers the derivation of a value added report, using a fictional case and the resulting data, before moving to an overview of the empirical literature most concerned with value added in the United States. Documenting the overall behavior of the net value added earnings policy model, he lays the foundation for more contextually specific approaches and investigates the usefulness of the substitution of net-value added in equity valuation. The book concludes with an examination of whether accounting knowledge is associated with a decision maker's tendency to ignore value added in wealth measurement in favor of the profit concept. Riahi-Belkaoui draws heavily on his own important writings, to further illustrate and explain the methods and benefits of value added approaches in accounting and other forms of financial decision making.
