Corporate Value Creation

Conventional wisdom would suggest that value creation would include at least three business activities: operations, investment, and financing. Within these milieus, management is expected to find the optimum combination of debt and equity to minimize the firms cost of capital and to provide adequate working capital. In addition, one of their prime objectives is to grow the firm by identifying and making investments in; Research and Development, Property Plant and Equipment, Marketing, Sales, Human Resources, Systems, Procurement, and Finance and Administration. This book addresses these issues by offering an analytical operations frame work that management can use to optimize the impact of their investment decisions on operations and to create value through the growth of the firm.
