Summary

Summary

Economic Value Added (EVA) and Value Based Management (VBM) are today's hottest management buzzwords. But written information has often been biased and clouded by the authors' hidden agendas. EVA and Value-Based Management is the first book to unflinchingly discuss the pros and cons of EVA and VBM. Covering both implementation and conceptual issues, with a strong emphasis on performance measurement, value drivers, and management compensation, it allows readers to come to their own informed conclusions.
