"A good read for managers who want to see the horizon as well as a foot in front of them." -- Working Knowledge, Harvard Business School
Review
“In an era when EPS has been redefined as ‘expecting prison sentence, Eleanor Bloxhams call for back-to-value-basics is a breath of fresh air. Any CEO, director or investor who wants to get a handle on the real numbers that show how companies perform should grab a hold of Economic Value Management. Viva EVM!”--Patrick McGurn, Vice President & Special Counsel, Institutional Shareholder Services
“Bloxham has a clear, common-sense, practical approach that provides welcome guidance to managers and directors on how to measure, create, and reward value. She avoids the usual jargon with sharply drawn examples and illuminating illustrations and the result is well worth reading.”--Nell Minow Editor, The Corporate Library and Coauthor of several books including Corporate Governance
"The author has given her "all" - rigorous scholarship, systematic thinking, and first-hand cases - and the result is an authoritative guide for corporate leaders who want to break out of financial ratio boxes to build sustainable value."--Alexandra R. Lajoux, Editor in Chief of Director's Monthly, and Coauthor (with J. Fred Weston) of The Art of M&A: Financing and Refinancing
"As a guide to the big dig this book is invaluable. Economic Value Management requires sustainable improvement in multiple dimensions and this book, replete with real-life examples and richly illustrated by charts, tables and other exhibits, shows us exactly how to make this happen."--Thomas R. Horton, former CEO,American Management Association
"Nothing could be more appropriate and needed at this time in history than understanding how decisions affect corporate economic value. Eleanor Bloxham's exploration of this issue is clear, easy to follow, and thorough in its breadth. Had corporate officers used economic value management techniques throughout their organizations, and investors focused on such issues, there would have been much greater rationality in the stock market with much less eventual "blood letting." Indeed, in the aftermath of recent disclosures, the focus on economic value management metrics should increase substantially, and this book provides a solid foundation for understanding such an approach."--Joseph A. Alutto Dean and John W. Berry, Sr. Chair in Business Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University
