From the team behind Valuation---the #1 best-selling reference on corporate finance---comes a decision-making guide for all executives to use as they create, manage, and sustain shareholder value.
Corporate leaders are regularly confronted with conventional wisdom and half-truths about value creation. They're given conflicting advice about what will or won't appeal to investors, often contradicting their own judgment about what builds lasting worth in their companies and the economy.
In Value: The Four Cornerstones of Corporate Finance, partners from the management consulting firm of McKinsey & Company describe the basic principles of value creation and their relevance. Internalizing these principles---or cornerstones---gives decision makers the independence and courage they need to challenge conventional wisdom, defy half-truths, and build thriving businesses.
While there are many books that cover selected topics within corporate finance---often for specialized practitioners---it's the rare book that offers leaders a unifying viewpoint of business. Value is that book.
McKinsey & Company is a global management consulting firm that helps leading private, public, and social-sector organizations make distinctive, lasting, and substantial performance improvements. With consultants deployed from more than ninety offices in over fifty countries, McKinsey advises companies on strategic, operational, organizational, financial, and technological issues.
