Managing for shareholder value: intangibles, future value and investment decisions

Abstract

When it comes to increasing shareholder value, the management team faces difficult issues in executing growth strategies. The authors explore the three most important shareholder value management factors: managing not only for current operations but for future growth; accounting for and managing intangible assets, one of the key drivers of value in today’s economy; and deciding where to invest resources given the inability of current tools to provide a reliable link between investments and the creation of shareholder value.
