Is shareholder value dead?

Article Abstract:

Shareholder value in the UK and other parts of Europe is very much alive despite the popularity of the options theory. Among the most popular forms of strategies that focus on shareholder interests are special dividends and buy backs. Other strategies that are adopted such as mergers and acquisitions, investor relations, restructuring of the balance sheet, portfolio management and capital raising are implemented with the intent of pleasing corporations' shareholder base. The focus on shareholder value has reconfigured the role of the CFO. Whereas before, the CFO was tied up in treasury matters, the advent of shareholder value has necessitated a close working relationship between the CEO and the CFO in terms of planning and restructuring, funding techniques, investor relations and portfolio matters.

12 ways to "multiply" the value of your business

Article Abstract:

Valuing a company is not a simple matter because so many variables are involved. The multiple, which can either be an earnings before interest and taxes multiple or price-earning's multiple, is one of these variables. Some factors which affect the nature of multiples are growth rate, niche and product mix. A company with a high growth rate and a comprehensive range of products has a high multiple. The multiple also reflects the company's rating within a specific industry.
