From the Inside Flap
Decision-making in technology companies has grown exceedingly complex, risky and ad hoc. Finding the value of a managerial decision - be it the adoption of a new technology, the launch of a new product, a strategic alliance, branding, additional R&D expenditures or new factories - has never been as important, nor as challenging, as it is today. Behind every successful decision lies an intricate assortment of competencies, presumptions and objectives, all strongly influenced by the company's history and its ability to mould the future through strategy and technology choice.
Financial Dynamics responds to the challenge by laying out the structure, components and application of the Financial Dynamics system of valuation. It provides managers, investors and other stakeholders with an accurate, comprehensive tool, which answers the question, "what is the value of a technology product, project or firm?" The Financial Dynamics model will find widespread application to valuation as well as give the analyst an invaluable tool for finding the worth of a business whose core competencies are knowledge-intensive.
