The foundational text on economic value added (EVA). Helped awaken this young financial analyst to the treasures of insight—and the potential pitfalls—of economic (cost of capital)-based accounting adjustments.

Unnecessarily verbose, and I still bristle at the hubris of SS in copyrighting concepts that go back to Graham and his predecessors.

The principles outlined by G. Bennett Stewart III, particularly regarding Value-Based Management (VBM), are essential concepts for future leaders and managers. I anticipate this book will provide a robust and practical framework for understanding and creating shareholder value
