Value Based Management: Developing a Systematic Approach to Creating Shareholder Value

Book Description

Value Based Management brushes aside the often-confusing amalgam of quick-fix management potions, and gives you tested tips and strategies designed to turn your company into an equity-enhancing machine. This long-awaited book describes how, once you have seen and tried the hundreds of different management theories that abound today, one goal will always remain: Enhancing Shareholder Value. Companies that focus on creating and building value become focused, goal-oriented, and successful at building the powerful business machines that are required in todayÕs give-no-quarter competitive environment. Performance measurement consultant James A. KnightÕs eye-opening book provides convincing proof that strategies designed to maximize shareholder value can benefit everyone involved. With its clear-cut diagrams, explanations, and case histories, Value Based Management demonstrates how every decision your management team makes can consistently create shareholder value. Its comprehensive benefits include a clear definition of the nature of corporate value, and how the act of enhancing it can create positive reverberations throughout the entire company; examples of companies that have successfully managed for value and how they have done it, alongside examples of companies that failed to manage for value and how you can avoid their pitfalls; and explanations of how Value Added Management creates the optimal balance between short and long term decisions, and helps your managers balance the trade offs between improved levels of profit and greater growth. Like so many journeys, the toughest step when focusing your company on Value Management is the first step. Take that first step today! Read Value Based Management, focus on the strategy and business questions it raises, then think about how its solutions can be tailored to fit your company. Once you have begun to implement Value Based Management your shareholders, along with your customers and employees, will recognize and reap the profitable benefits of a value based corporate mindset.

Excellent introduction with detailed solutions.......1999-04-27

I've watched the words "Shareholder Value" creep into our business vocabulary over the past decade or so, and I've heard many explanations of how to optimize it. Unfortunately, there about as many definitions and techniques for measuring and managing it as there are books on the subject. I've read many of these other texts and worked with the other consultants Mr. Knight mentions in his book. But none of them have approached the precision and clarity of this book. Mr Knight starts with why management should understand the shareholder's needs and the proper methods for addressing those needs, then he takes the reader logically through all the steps (including the subtle nuances) of implementing such a program. There is no more comprehensive nor better written book on this subject on the market. If only Mr. Knight had written his book 10 years ago, many of us would have been saved from endless hours of vague and confusing meetings about what we were really trying to accomplish.

A very basic point of view.......1999-03-10

I expected much more of it. Very basic in it's assesments and definition. I cannot get a real signification of EVA until chapter 6. Good for earliers beginners not awaiting for much academic support

A must read book for companies striving for value creation.......1998-07-14

This book shows how to develop and implement strategies regarding value creation for shareholders. It has a very good mix of theory and business cases. The core aspect of this book is the theory behind the imperative link of: Strategic Planning, Budgeting, Financial Reporting and Incentive Compensation. This theory is tested against many sucessful business cases. The author also shows why some companies fail after incomplete or wrong assumptions on the value based management implementation.

Book Description

This casebook contains cases, treaties, and documents as well as literary texts and art from the major political and legal regimes in Germany during the twentieth century (the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the Occupation, the German Democratic Republic, the Federal Republic, and Germany since Unification). The materials are tailored for undergraduate students interested in German and European history in the twentieth century, comparative government, and particularly comparative law. The book should interest scholars and students of legal history as well. The purpose of the text is to permit students to examine the essential differences in law between Fascism, Communism and Democracy. Students will also learn about the history and development of the Civil Law system. While the majority of the materials document Germany?s constitutional and political history, there are cases and documents presented from the 1990s as well. In dealing with Germany?s troubled past, some very important legal and moral questions are posed. To what extent can the law and policies of a prior regime be recognized as binding by upon its successors? To what extent can successor regimes do justice retroactively? In dealing with Germany?s promising present and hopeful future, interesting cases, captivating photos and lively interviews are presented, which should capture the hearts and minds of students.

Book Description

Understanding the molecular basis of bacterial invasion and of host cell adaptation to intracellular bacteria will provide fundamental insights into the pathophysiology of bacteria and the cell biology of the host. This book details specific examples of bacteria that are masters of manipulation of eukaryotic cell signaling and relates these events to the broader context of host-pathogen interaction. Written by experts in the field, it will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in microbiology, immunology, and biochemistry, as well as in molecular medicine and dentistry.

Complex and readable.......2005-06-22

I found Bacterial Invasion to be a thorough treatment of the subject presented in a very readable manner. A great book for the non-specialist. Concisely edited.

Book Description

Intended for wire-bonding and flip-chip packaging professionals and for scientists and engineers working in the field of mechanical microsensors, this practical monograph introduces novel measurement technologies that allow for in situ and real-time examination of physical processes during the packaging process or during subsequent reliability tests. The measurement system presented here makes possible measurements at formerly inaccessible packaging interconnects. For the first time it becomes possible to describe the wire-bonding process window in terms of the physical forces at the contact zone instead of the applied machine settings. This is significant for a deeper understanding and future development of these packaging processes. Applications of the sensor in the field of wire bonding and flip-chip characterization are also illustrated. The reader will gain much insight into the important field of interconnection technology in semiconductor packaging.

the lone nitpicker.......2002-06-25

I enjoyed these witty essays, but had trouble ignoring a few things. One, the author seems to have a compulsive need to remind the reader that he's fat. OK, if we haven't picked it up from the cover, we get it. Sometimes it was relevant to the piece and sometimes it wasn't.

Secondly, I detected the oh-too-familiar complaint of many writers - that they are unsung geniuses and anyone who criticizes their work doesn't know squat. (I noticed this with Stephen King's and Rita Mae Brown's books on writing.) Some critics don't know what they're doing, but some do. If most people who work in publishing are ignoramuses, how did your books manage to get published? Writers who can make a living doing what they love should ease up on the whining.

I've read other Pinkwater books. Some are great, some are so-so, and some are in dire need of editing.... In any case, whether or not he's a genius (yes, he actually discusses this) will only tell with time.

And, while I'm really on a roll, why this pathological reluctance to mention his alma mater? I went there. It's a decent school. Lots of flaky artists, but certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

Hoboken Fish and Chicago Whistle.......2001-01-12

Hoboken Fish and Chicago Whistle is one of eighty excellent books by Daniel Pinkwater. He is a regular commentator on public radio and this is a diverse collection of his radio commentaries and essays. This is an excellent book with loads of humor. Pinkwater is a comic genius and a superb writer. Pinkwater's essays have topics ranging from the humor impaired, to his life in Hoboken, New Jersey, to dog training. Pinkwater recommends all his books for intelligent young adults and up who have their sense of humor intact, and I agree.

Dream Come True.......2000-05-11

When I was smaller I read, nay, devoured _Alan Mendelsohn, Boy From Mars_, _The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death_ and _Lizard Music_. When I was but small I discovered Mr. Pinkwater's first collection of NPR commentaries, and I learned to eat pizza...one handed...while holding a drink...and running for the bus. Then I discovered the second collection. Since then I have worn out three copies of each. To have them togehter in one HARDBOUND volume is literally a dream come true. You cannot afford to miss this book.

Unforgettable.......1999-12-16

Both of Mr. Pinkwater's essay collections in one handy volume: this is a deal not to be missed. Fans of his children's books will discover the true inspirations for the Chicken Man, the Boy from Mars, and friendly lizards; fans of The Afterlife Diet will receive more witty and wise insights into the life of the modern downscale gourmet and fat American, as well as the secret to a happy life ("Somewhere, there is a chili you cannot eat"). In between, there's a little bit of everything else: big dogs, tough cats, African safaris, Japanese delis, Chicago street characters, inscrutable art dealers, and parrots. Even if you haven't yet been introduced to the joys of Pinkwater's endlessly inventive deadpan prose, these hilarious essays are sure to contain something that will leave you rolling on the floor, aching with laughter, possibly rupturing something in your abdomen. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Essays: Deep, varied, humane and humorous.......1999-11-10

A lot of the short essays and stories in these two books started out as commentaries on NPR's "All Things Considered."

To say they cover a lot of territory is a terrible understatement. Read them and learn about art, big malemute dogs, pudding, writing for kids, African safaris, hot peppers, Chicago, Hoboken, being fat, being weird, living in bohemia, living in the boondocks, and more!

Truly wonderful stuff. Literally wonderful. The image of Pinkwater memorizing passages from Homer while operating a machine tool is hard to forget.

The only thing better than reading these is hearing Pinkwater read them. If you can get your paws on the OOP two-tape "Fishwhistle" audio book, do so. I have had friends seriously damage their bodies convulsing in laughter after hearing a few pieces.

In any case . . . buy the book. The price is steep, but you won't be sorry.

And . . . "eat pudding!"

Book Description

This vibrant and action-driven narrative examines the motivations for warfare in the Middle Ages, asserting that waging war was a condition defining the ruling groups of all societies.

Barbarians, Marauders, and Infidels examines the motives and terrors of war during the Middle Ages, the rise and fall of ethnic and religious groups, and the actions of good and evil military leaders during this violent and colorful period. In this sweeping chronicle, historical figures and major campaigns such as Charlemagne, the Magyars, and the Crusades are presented not as icons but as a living part of their times, with all their achievements and human failures. Santosuosso asserts that war, for most of the Middle Ages, was carried out for God, personal gain, and honor. Both Christians and Muslims often explained their acts of violence in war as the will of God. Besides the religious motivation, soldiers, if upper class, believed that acts of bravery were a necessary aspect of gaining honor in society. Finally, war constituted a way to make material gains in a period of chronic underemployment and low prosperity. Particular emphasis is given to massive transitions from one period to the next in the medieval era. The author explains how these changes reflected an environment where charismatic leaders, the Church, and the aristocracy played leading roles as "managers" of the art and practice of war and normally as main actors on the battlefield.

Good But Flawed Review of Medieval Warfare.......2005-04-07

This is the kind of book that really turns my crank... obscure barbarian tribes, weapon use and tactics, tales of lost dynasties, imperial decline and the advent of new tribes, races and their own eventual conquest and submission.

The book has all of that.. unfortunately it suffers from an incomplete development of almost all of its major theses. Its review of tactics is most notable and I was impressed with the detial of the political organisation, and military mobilisation that Santosousso uses, but was left wondering how he defined his major thematic chapters.

The book starts at the end of the latter Roman Empire and the clashes between Rome and the Goths, then those between the Goths and Longobards, Byzantines and other barbarian tribes. These in turn switch to those of the Franks, the ascendency of the Muslim tribes and then the advent of the Medieval Christian warriors and their eventual demise with the nascent advent of citizen armies. All of this is great, but the narrative is marred by

1) lack of continuity: whole chuncks of history are leaped and interesting tactics and peoples totally ignored. ie. mongols are totally left out which is odd considering that there is a whole chapter dedicated to those perrenial losers of history, the Magyars.

2) The author throws in the occassional bloody story, but really once he gets our blood up with anecdotal elegance he switches to military organisation descriptions. These are fine but one gets the feeling that we would rather be reading some tales of blood and glory.

3) The description of miliary tactics and organisation, though good, omits a fundemental question: how were some of the tribes able to conquer others, and why did others decline?

I did like the grand historical sweep of the book and it did hold my interest most of the time. I guess the real problem I had with this book is that I was just expecting much more than Santosousso offerred me... I felt slightly famished after reading it... like eating an appetiser and then being told it was really the main course...

detailed account of medieval military tactics.......2004-11-09

Santosuo has given us a wonderfully researched history of medieval warfare. The book covers from the Barbarian tribes of the 6th century to the Mongol and Turk empires of the 15th century. Most of the major military engagements are covered along with the notable leaders of the respective periods. I found the general discussions of the political and military situations very interesting. But I got bogged down in the details concerning the make up of various armies. This work is a highly detailed account of tactics, formations and arms and equipment. Anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of medieval warfare will enjoy this book.

An inherently fascinating survey of medieval warfare .......2004-09-07

In Barbarians, Marauders, And Infidels: The Ways Of Medieval Warfare, historian Antonio Santosuosso (Professor Emeritus of History, University of Western Ontario, Canada) draws upon his many years of research and expertise to provide readers with an inherently fascinating survey of medieval warfare ranging from the fifth through the fifteenth century. More than just a catalog of conflicts, Professor Santosuosso examines the changes and the motivations of these conflicts with respect to their political, cultural, and social contexts. Of special interest is the understanding of medieval warfare as a means of carrying out religious imperatives, securing wealth, and enhancing personal reputations. This wonderfully written history expands beyond Europe to careful consider Muslim warfare from a Muslim perspective before the advent of the Crusades. Of seminal value to academia, Barbarians, Marauders, And Infidels is also very highly recommended for non-specialist general readers with an interest in Medieval History.

Customer Reviews:

A fantastic read.......2002-05-15

I love history, and can't stand reading history books. Too often the books are so cluttered with the author's attempts to challenge previous perceptions of the past along with the justifications of those claims, that it is difficult for the reader to actually gain any incite about the subject which for which they craved education. (I want to read a book, not a dissertation.)

"I, Caesar" is a different history book. It's the kind of history book I wish more authors would write. Most important, Grabsky is able to write. He is able to present the material in an approachable manner that is easily interpreted by the reader. He makes a few far reaching claims, but these are presented very obviously and any reader will easily be able to approach them with a grain of salt.

The subject of the book covers the history of the Roman Empire spanning from the first Caesar to the last. Several chapters are dedicated to focusing on the more accomplished leaders such as Augustus, Hadrian, and Constantine.

This book is wonderful for anyone who wishes to approach the subject of Roman history without a strong background in the area. I feel it is a wonderful introduction, and may be used as a springboard to either dive deeper in to the subject of Roman History or into the Middle Ages that follow this period.

The ideal introduction to Roman history........1998-08-24

As someone who has heard of the Roman empire but knows little more than what the movies show, this book proved ideal for me. It is clear, concise and not trying to be clever. Too often academics are more interested in impressing their peers than conveying the necessary information to a lay reader like me. I thought the chapters were each great reads but also as a whole gave me a suberb understanding of the Roman empire as a whole. The photographs are very good too. If I have a criticism it is that perhaps the chapters are a bit short but I guess it's better that than too long. In sum, therefore, the perfect "way-in" to Roman history. The chapters on Caesar, Nero and Justinian are particularly good.
