Book excerpt: Economic Value Added (EVA) is a value based performance measure that gives importance on value creation by the management for the owners. Profit maximization as a concept is age-old, wealth maximization is matured and value maximization is today's wisdom. Stern Stewart's EVA raises storm in corporate world and gives a new way to think about rewarding management.Usability of EVA largely depends on the quality of accounting information system, as traditional information system will not provide sufficient information to compute true EVA. Thus, EVA is required to be tailored in line with accounting system, management philosophy and the degree of demand of such a system. In this paper, an earnest effort has been made to explain theoretical foundation of EVA with its origination, definition, ways to make it tailored, adjustments required, scope and some other related issues. The methodology used is a type of theoretical mining of logics resulting a step-by-step process required for EVA implementation. As corporate house plans to move from traditional to value based performance measures, EVA would yield good result and the paper may become helpful to them to comprehend the methodology.

This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of shareholder value is an issue that has to comprise a dichotomy in terms of the standpoint from which it is looked at. Shareholders and the management of a company in many cases still represent counterparts whereas interests do not continuously align. In this study shareholder value theory is approached by investigating the shareholder perspective in correspondence to shareholder wealth gains in the UK market environment through the implementation of six major financial performance measurement methods including: the Price/Earnings ratio, the Discounted Cash Flow Model, the Dividend Valuation Model, the Economic Value Added, the Market Capitalization, the Capital asset Pricing Model and the shareholder value approach as suggest by Alfred Rappaport. Having applied them to six selected stock listed companies enabled the author to develop a shareholder value ranking according to their financial performance and the deriving shareholder value dedication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CEOs and managers live and die by delivering superior performance to shareholders. This is why expectations-based management has been developed. Outperform with Expectations-Based Management (EBM) introduces a revolutionary new performance metric that links performance standards, performance measurement, and the achievement of performance. It's easy to say that if a CEO can get performance measurement right, then performance improvement will follow. But what is the "right" measure of performance, and how do you use it to improve performance? Authors Tom Copeland and Aaron Dolgoff answer these questions and many more, as they show you how to find the measure of performance that has the strongest link to the creation of wealth for the owners of both public and private companies. They answer the puzzle of why growth in earnings is not correlated with shareholder returns and explain the under- and over-investment traps. And they explain how clear communications to investors and managers alike improve value. The bottom line is that share prices go up when companies exceed expectations -- short-term and long-term -- of income statement and balance sheet performance and daily operating value drivers. Gain a complete understanding of EBM and discover how to do this, and much more, while staying competitive in an unforgiving business environment.

This book was released on 2007-07-29 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1.0 (A), Edinburgh Napier University (Business School), 200 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: For several decades academics have been looking for an efficient performance measure, which not only reflects the effectiveness and efficiency of the firm, but also aligns manager′s and shareholder′s interests. Even though many studies question the merit of a single measure for overall firm performance, Stern and Stewart claim to have solved the puzzle with a method labeled Economic Value Added (EVA). This paper examines two aspects: First, EVA′s predicting power regarding stock returns and second, its impact on management behavior as an element of executive compensation. At first glance, Stern and Stewart seem to be right. During the early 1990s their approach gained tremendous popularity, reflected by dozens of anecdotal success stories. Though EVA′s demand of integrating a total capital charge is appealing, the concept is by no means new. The framework of residual income (economic profit), which has been around for decades, also requires a charge for equity capital. Further, some scholars criticize the use of accounting adjustments in order to calculate EVA and its ability to capture performance at the divisional level. So far there is no independent empirical evidence that EVA is superior to accounting measures in predicting stock returns. Some studies even question EVA′s incremental value regarding executive compensation by stating that economic profit is doing as good a job. Consequently, it is tempting to doubt that Economic Value Added indeed adds any value.

Book excerpt: In recent years, a variant of residual income often called Economic Value Added (EVA)1 or Economic Income (EI) has become a popular concern in academia and business communities. This study investigates the general hypothesis that EVA is more highly associated with shareholder wealth and firm values than are traditional performance measures. Two commonly used value-based performance metrics namely, Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Tobin's Qare also considered to highlight the valuerelevance ofEVA vis-a-vis these measures in predicting shareholder wealth. Using a sample of panel data of around 12,000 firm-year observations taken from . the Stern Stewart 1000 EVA/MVA database and the DATASTREAM file over the period 1991-2002, this study finds compelling evidence that shareholder value is a function of EVA. This study also provides evidence consistent with the notion that EVA outperforms other traditional performance measures in explaining shareholder wealth. Valuerelevance tests reveal EVA to be more highly associated with shareholder wealth than TSR and Tobin's Q. The incremental tests also suggest that EVA possesses the largest explanatory power (or information usefulness) over TSR and Tobin's Q. These results conclusively support the claims made by EVA proponents and further support the potential usefulness of the EVA metric for internal and external performance.

Download or read book The Relationship between the Market Value of a Company and Internal Performance Measurements written by John H. Hall and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely accepted that the primary objective or goal of a firm is to maximise the shareholders' equity. While there may be legitimate differences of opinion as to whether this is the sole motivation of a firm's management, it should without a doubt be a dominant variable in management's decisions.In management's attempts and decision-making to increase shareholder value as measured by the market value of a company, they continuously influence, directly of indirectly, those variables that affect shareholder wealth.It is thus of the utmost importance that those variables that influence shareholder value are stimulated in the most positive way in order to increase shareholder value to the utmost.In the literature part of this study, the emphasis fell not only on drawing a distinction between accounting-based models of determining shareholder value, but also on the fact that Economic value added (EVA) in particular, have distinct advantages in determining value created (or destroyed) by the management of a company. EVA can also be adjusted for inflation purposes or standardized in order to be an even more complete internal performance measure. However, other ratios or yardsticks which might have an influence on the market value of a company are also identified and placed alongside EVA as variables that can correlate with the market value of a company.Whilst EVA and other variables or ratios are internal measures of shareholder value creation, Market value added (MVA) is the external method of determining shareholder's wealth.The goal of this study is to determine which internal performance measures of a company correlate the best with its external performance measure as represented by the MVA of the corporation.In order to achieve the aforementioned goal, an empirical analysis was conducted. The research methodology, including the statistical techniques as well as the boundaries of the sample used, were set out. The results of the empirical analyses were reported and compared with the theoretical principles.The highest consistent positive correlation coefficient obtained was between MVA and EVA with inflation adjustments to the data. The very same pattern was obtained with discounted EVA. Slightly lower positive correlations were found between MVA and ROA, ROE, EPS and DPS. These correlation coefficients were higher when data with inflation adjustments were utilized.

Download or read book A Measure of Total Firm Performance written by Yacine Belghitar and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because heterogenous and unknown shareholder utility functions make it difficult to define a corporate objective common to all shareholders based on utility, the traditional theory of the firm concentrates on wealth maximization as the main measure of performance. Using the concept of ranked marginal utility, we develop a multi-dimensional measure of firm performance (TPM) that reflects the preferences of all risk averse shareholders towards all aspects of risk. We verify empirically that this is, in fact, the case for the first four moments of a large sample of US stocks over the period 2002-2010. Then, using the manager/shareholder agency conflict as the analytical framework, we show that TPM is a reliable, multi-dimensional performance measure and that one dimensional performance measures, such as mean returns, volatility or Tobin's Q can lead to erroneous inference. By including shareholder preferences towards risk in the measure of firm performance as the corporate objective, we bring together the corporate finance literature and the literature on portfolio investment theory and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the trouble with shareholder value thinking and at better options for models of corporate purpose. Executives, investors, and the business press routinely chant the mantra that corporations are required to “maximize shareholder value.” In this pathbreaking book, renowned corporate expert Lynn Stout debunks the myth that corporate law mandates shareholder primacy. Stout shows how shareholder value thinking endangers not only investors but the rest of us as well, leading managers to focus myopically on short-term earnings; discouraging investment and innovation; harming employees, customers, and communities; and causing companies to indulge in reckless, sociopathic, and irresponsible behaviors. And she looks at new models of corporate purpose that better serve the needs of investors, corporations, and society. “A must-read for managers, directors, and policymakers interested in getting America back in the business of creating real value for the long term.” —Constance E. Bagley, professor, Yale School of Management; president, Academy of Legal Studies in Business; and author of Managers and the Legal Environment and Winning Legally “A compelling call for radically changing the way business is done... The Shareholder Value Myth powerfully demonstrates both the dangers of the shareholder value rule and the falseness of its alleged legal necessity.” —Joel Bakan, professor, The University of British Columbia, and author of the book and film The Corporation “Lynn Stout has a keen mind, a sharp pen, and an unbending sense of fearlessness. Her book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the root causes of the current financial calamity.” —Jack Willoughby, senior editor, Barron’s “Lynn Stout offers a new vision of good corporate governance that serves investors, firms, and the American economy.” —Judy Samuelson, executive director, Business and Society Program, The Aspen Institute

Download or read book Employee Benefits Versus Shareholder Wealth Maximisation written by Baitshepi Tebogo and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report looks at the various performance measurement systems, used in determining employee compensation. Most of these traditional performance measurement systems are accounting based and hence prone to manipulation. In addition, these performance evaluation metrics tend to focus on how performance is measured rather than on how value can be created. In some circumstances, measures are put in place to introduce equity incentive schemes to promote shareholders' interests and create wealth for them. Despite these measures, most executives still fail to generate considerable wealth for shareholders. Against the backdrop of these weaknesses, Stern Stewart & Co. & Co. has developed the economic value added (EVA) method. This has proven very effective in measuring wealth and ensuring that attention is focused on wealth-generating activities. Stern Stewart & Co. proposes bonus schemes linked with EVA, since such schemes tend to be all inclusive, encompassing all employees from the top executive to the most junior worker. One of the most outstanding results of such bonus schemes is that, because they are linked with EVA, they encourage employees to focus on common organisational objectives, resulting in goal congruency.

This book was released on 2004-03-15 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,3 (A), European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (Economics), course: Seminar: Budgeting and Performance Measurement, language: English, abstract: This paper will evaluate the Discounted-Cash-Flow-Method (DCF) as a certain value based performance measurement system (VBPMS). Therefore criteria of evaluating performance measurement systems (PMS) in generally will be created (Chapter 2). This strategy will guarantee the fundamental comparability of the derived features of the DCF with these of other PMS (including non-VBPMS, too). Chapter 3 will emphasize a fundamental feature of VBPMS, the shareholder orientation. After a detailed investigation of the DCF in chapter 4, its criteria will be evaluated in chapter 5. Finally a quintessence closes this paper (chapter 6). 2 Criteria for evaluating performance measurement systems In this chapter criteria of value based performance measurement systems will be developed. Therefore the sense of performance in connection with enterprises will be explained, at first. Finally, the term “performance measurement system” (PMS) will be defined in order to point out there criteria. 2.1 The performance of an enterprise Performance of an enterprise stands for its achievement, its power or its output 1 . To describe this term exactly, it is important to get an impression of the objectives of an enterprise (see Figure 7.1).The objectives of an enterprise are derived from its mission 2 . The mission of a company stresses its basic function in society. Qualitative aims, called goals, are derived from the mission. If they are expressed in a way that can be measured, they are called objectives. Shareholder wealth maximisation is the traditional objective of firms 3 . In general, “any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of the organization’s objectives” 4 (Stakeholder) can influence its mission and therefore its objectives. And some of them do so, as one can realise for example by investigating the success of the Balanced Score Card 5 as a performance measurement instrument that emphasises the objectives of several stakeholders 6 . Obviously, not every Stakeholder can by considered. Only the interests of a few key-stakeholders will be regarded by the target system of a firm. Shareholders are one of the considered key-stakeholders because of their influence on the process of creating the mission (consider the rights of co determination of the general business meeting and the supervisory board 7 at share companies; the influence of the shareholders on partnerships is trivial).

Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: Shareholders value maximization, which is the heart of economic growth, as a long-term proposition that delivers higher economic output and prosperity through productivity gains, employment growth, and higher wages. Management's most important mission is to maximize shareholders' wealth, j Therefore wealth creation is dependent on management's performance. In order to measure the performance of the company's management; accountants, finance managers, investors, analysts, and other users use several tools. It would be very useful to measure and compare the shareholder's wealth created by the company on the basis of traditional and modem measurement criteria for the purpose of best corporate governance and improving creditworthiness. An attempt is made in the present study to measure the shareholder's wealth on/ the basis of traditional and modem methods and compare them to know the relative importance of measurement
