Summary

The #1 guide to corporate valuation is back . . . and better than ever!

This textbook stands alone in this field with its reputation of quality and consistency. If you want to hone your valuation skills today and improve them for years to come, look no further than this textbook.

"The best valuation textbook just got better. This edition's greater emphasis on what drives value and how to measure it will improve the way practitioners conduct financial analysis and, ultimately, make strategic decisions. It is required reading for all executives." -Professor Benjamin C. Esty, Harvard Business School, author of Modern Project Finance: A Casebook.

"The bible in its field. Anyone wanting to understand what drives corporate value should read this latest edition." -Dr. Raymund Breu, former chief financial officer, Novartis AG.

"Valuation gets to the heart of how to measure and manage value in a company. Whether you are evaluating an acquisition, restructuring a corporation, or formulating strategy, this textbook will help you do it well." -John A. Manzoni, Chief Executive Officer, Talisman Energy Inc.

"A 'how-to' guide for corporate executives who want to get at the unrealized shareholder values trapped in public companies." -New York Times.

"The book's clarity and comprehensive coverage make it one of the best practitioners' guides to valuation." -Financial Times.

The Fifth University Edition of Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies continues the tradition of its bestselling predecessors by providing up-to-date insights and practical advice on how to create, manage, and measure the value of an organization. This textbook is filled with expert guidance that managers at all levels, investors, and students have come to trust.

New chapters are dedicated to finding the real engines behind value creation, whether it be key management decisions or mergers and acquisitions. The authors have also written a new chapter on corporate finance fundamentals that they feel are missing from everyday business decisions. The university edition contains the same text as the cloth edition, but is well-suited for the college market with its suite of ancillary tools for professors to use in the classroom.

Valuation, University Edition, Fifth Edition remains true to its roots with an extensive discussion on the complexity of measuring corporate performance to assess historical financial results properly and to gain insight into a company's ability to create value in the future (its corporate "health").
