      Description of The Quest for Value

      Written for senior management, key operating people, and planning and financial staff, The Quest For Value will assist managers in goal setting, resource allocation, strategy development, valuation of acquisitions, financial policy setting, incentive compensation planning, and building shareholder value.

      The Quest For Value cuts sharply through the myths that to this day misinform corporate strategists in their pursuit of shareholder value.

      Laying waste to inaccurate , yet widely used, methods of performance, Stewart demonstrates how the Stern Stewart value-oriented approach not only creates greater shareholder value, but provides a powerful framework for the broadest range of corporate decision making.
