Více o knize

Business valuation is closely tied to value maximization, with the primary goal of increasing equity through a long-term value creation strategy. The economic value of an enterprise is crucial, defined by its ability to generate free cash flows. This book aims to explore business valuation theories, models, and methods while contrasting them with practical assessments of company value. It begins with a comprehensive overview of various valuation approaches and value categories, ranging from historical and philosophical to those based in economic theory.

The collection of papers within this book showcases the authors' expertise and ability to engage readers, making it accessible to both scholars and practitioners in business valuation. It addresses complex issues in the global economy, providing insights for stock market investors to critically evaluate their decisions. Divided into 12 chapters, the book serves as a valuable resource for managers seeking to uncover enterprise value, enhanced by practical examples that clarify theoretical concepts. It is recommended reading for financiers and capital market participants, off
