Should a company's management be most accountable to employees, customers, or management itself? In Creating Shareholder Value, Alfred Rappaport argues that management's primary responsibility is to company shareholders. First published 12 years ago, the ideas put forth by Rappaport have since become commonplace in companies around the world.
Rappaport eschews the most common measures of a company's performance, such as price-to-earnings ratios ("Cash is a fact, profit is an opinion"), return on investment, and equity measures, instead concentrating on developing a shareholder value approach that measures "value drivers" such as sales-growth rates, operating profit margins, and cost of capital. This revised and updated edition addresses the issues of corporate downsizing and the social responsibilities of business. It also includes new sections on the value of mergers and acquisitions and how to implement a shareholder value system. Both managers and investors alike will find this book useful.
Book Description
The ultimate test of corporate strategy, the only reliable measure, is whether it creates economic value for shareholders. Now, in this substantially revised and updated edition of his 1986 business classic, Creating Shareholder Value, Alfred Rappaport provides managers and investors with the practical tools needed to generate superior returns. After a decade of downsizings frequently blamed on shareholder value decision making, this book presents a new and indepth assessment of the rationale for shareholder value. Further, Rappaport presents provocative new insights on shareholder value applications to: (1) business planning, (2) performance evaluation, (3) executive compensation, (4) mergers and acquisitions, (5) interpreting stock market signals, and (6) organizational implementation. Readers will be particularly interested in Rappaport's answers to three management performance evaluation questions: (1) What is the most appropriate measure of performance? (2) What is the most appropriate target level of performance? and (3) How should rewards be linked to performance? The recent acquisition of Duracell International by Gillette is analyzed in detail, enabling the reader to understand the critical information needed when assessing the risks and rewards of a merger from both sides of the negotiating table.
The shareholder value approach presented here has been widely embraced by publicly traded as well as privately held companies worldwide. Brilliant and incisive, this is the one book that should be required reading for managers and investors who want to stay on the cutting edge of success in a highly competitive global economy.

Powerful promotion of shareholders' interests .......2007-08-07
For the past 12 years, `The Wall Street Journal' has published Dr. Alfred Rappaport's brainchild, the `Shareholder Scoreboard.' This special section lists 1,000 of the largest U.S. corporations (representing 90% of all listed equity values) and shows statistically how "shareholder-friendly" each one is. This journalistic feature popularizes Rappaport's "Shareholder Value" (SV) theory among institutional and individual investors. Investors use this theory to make equity commitments that reflect the author's economics-based criteria. Frankly, the lay reader who has not majored in economics, or in corporate accounting and finance, will find Rappaport's book abstruse. But it leads the way for the informed, inquisitive investor who seeks "business enlightenment" and Wall Street success. Do not be thrown off by the original 1986 print date. A classic is just that, a book that can be read and wisely used for decades. The small, silent shareholder revolution that Rappaport started is far from over. By now, shareholder analysis has become part of the mainstream for hundreds of big companies (though they accepted it gradually). SV is far from perfect as a corporate strategy indicator. The true worth of this book for CEOs and other executives resides in its lessons for implementing the SV approach throughout a corporation. We recommend it to all three informed constituencies of every public corporation: executives, employees and shareholders.
Higher Understanding.......2007-01-08
A great guide for those wanting to gain a higher level of understanding of corporate decision making. I found it useful within my own business unit and plan to bring back some of the concepts. Read this book if you have a desire to stand out by analyzing decisions like a corporate officer.
Valuation Fundamentals.......2001-09-28
Given that investors value bonds by discounting future cash flows, it stands to reason that they value stocks in the same fashion. Alfred Rappaport is the founder of the shareholder value mindset which gained importance in the '80 and is widely accepted in this new millenium. Rappaport starts the book explaining that objections to using a discounted Cash Flow model do not hold. Strong arguments and empirical evidence is given to explain the market's valuation mechanism. What follows is a basic but thorough explanation of the 3 elements for valuing a company (cash flows , risk and the competitive advantage period). In the second part of the book, it will become clear for the reader DCF is closely linked to strategic analysis and is not in contradiction with stakeholder analysis, customer value analysis, Activity Based costing or any other tool. On the contrary, Rappaport shows DCF is a communication tool that helps investors understand a company's implied performance and how to (re)act. Together with the Valuation book from Copeland, Koller and Murrin this is the book you need.
Good explanation of creating shareholder value, but..........1999-06-09
Professor Rappaport's revised version of his 1986 book on creating shareholder value provides a good description of the value based management concept that he helped create. However, many of the chapters are stand alone sections that do not flow well together. In some chapters he does not provide enough depth on how this book can actually be used by managers. In addition, the chapters on using his concepts to formulate value-maximizing business strategies was somewhat lacking.
Nevertheless, the book was an easy read and many of his points were right on target. I would also highly recommend interested readers to check out "The Value Imperative" by Marakon Associates and "Valuation" by McKinsey & Co for more information on value based management.
MAKE MANAGING SHAREHOLDER VALUE A CORE COMPETENCY.......1999-04-01
This continues to be a good book for raising awareness that shareholder value can and should be managed. It was not that many years ago when a survey of CEOs found that they thought it was immoral and unethical to try to raise share price! I am also pleased to see that Mr. Rapparport discussed appluications to planning, M&A, compensation and organizational development. I belong to an organization (SHARE PRICE GROWTH 100) that develops new tools and processes to improve stock price, and we have found new ways directily link stock price, finance, investor realtions and capital management. We also found that each company has different investor sensitivities, and few stocks move directly with cash flow. The concepts that we use are described in THE 2,000 PERCENT SOLUTION. One of Mr. Rapparport's questions, "what is the most appropriate measure of performance" is a question that was asked of Peter Drucker in the 1970s. Dr. Drucker responded by saying that companies should use as many measures as possible, because we learn something different from each one. That is what really improves business. Confusion sets in, however, because people think that the measures used to improve business performance are also the ones investors focus on. That thinking has misled many to improve performance while watching the stock price and the multiple do nothing. Managing stock price should become a core competancy. With the right infomation, you will find your 2,000 percent solutions.
Book Description
STRATEGIC MRO: A Roadmap for Transforming Assets into Competitive Advantage Richard L. MacInnes & Stephen L. Pearce
This book combines the concepts of enterprise asset management and the associated maintenance, repair, and operating/overhaul (MRO) materials supply chain. The book introduces the breakthrough Demand Supply Compression (DSC) methodology, which provides a practical path forward to guide an organization's thinking and doing as they seek performance improvement. Focused on achieving a future perfect and guided by meaningful principles, organizations will learn to apply compression strategies to drive out waste, time and non-value adding activities from their Strategic MRO practices.
Like Lean, DSC is a breakthrough methodology that provides a practical path forward in performance improvement by changing a mind frame and the way in which work is performed.
Strategic MRO includes Case Studies from a chemical company, a water utility, an automotive manufacturer, a mobile telecommunications company, a military base operation, and a truckload freight carrier.
This is much more than a maintenance management or supply chain book because it encompasses both asset management and supply chain practices. If you are looking to transform your assets into a strategic advantage, you have found the right book.

This book should be required reading for all purchasing, plant maintenance, and engineering personnel."

Anyone who has ever been a landlord knows that the rental business is tightly regulated. As the authors of Every Landlord's Legal Guide point out, "a landlord either knows and follows the law or doesn't stay in business long." This book clearly outlines what the law requires of a landlord and, just as importantly, offers advice on how to be conscientious yet profitable. This useful book is filled with helpful information on finding good tenants, agreements and leases, liability issues, and even terminations and evictions. The advice is extremely thorough. For example, the chapter on the landlord's maintenance duties contains information on who is responsible for minor repairs, ways to avoid problems by instituting a preventive-maintenance program, and even possible tenant responses to landlord negligence. The book is rounded out with a chapter on finding a lawyer and an appendix of state laws that may affect your business. Dozens of sample forms are included both as blank hard copies in the book and as templates on the enclosed disk. This book is extremely user-friendly: Stilted legalese is translated into simple English, handy icons highlight particular points in the text, and sidebars provide in-depth analysis on a variety of issues. The authors maintain that success is based on "choosing tenants carefully, keeping good tenants happy, teaching mediocre tenants how to improve and getting rid of bad tenants by applying policies that are strict, fair and legal." This book will help you do just that. --C.B. Delaney

A Lead for New Landlords.......2007-03-31
This book is the perfect starting point for people wanting to get into the rental business. Provides you with answers to some questions you didn't think to ask.
Nice beginning, but beware of state law!.......2007-02-25
This book gives you a good first overview, but you absolutely have to get a book on your state's regulations as well, especially if you live in a highly regulated state like Massachusetts. This book for example only gives you a vague idea on how to handle the security deposit, but Massachusetts state law is very specific and not following the rules precisely may cost you the deposit plus penalties.
If there were more starts, this book earns it!.......2007-02-15

"the best desk reference for any landlord" The Midwest Book Review.......2007-01-19
The following is from a review published in
REVIEWER'S BOOKWATCH
January 2007
...EVERY LANDLORD'S GUIDE TO FINDING GREAT TENANTS [is] designed in a reader friendly format, full of icons, shaded call-out boxes, sample forms, and checklits. Easty-to-read tables outline state-specific laws on returning security deposits and showing notices, to name a few. From apartment makrketing programs, how to show a rental, fielding and screening calls, and chekcing references, no step in the process is left out and all procedures are drilled down to the bottom line.
Ms. Portman brings an expert's perspective on the law, but don't thinkt hat this is a dry read. Engaging text sprinkled with bullet points, graphics, and clever caution points, make this the best desk reference for any landlord. Perfect for the experianced but exasperated landlord [or] the freshly mined, this is a must-have rental resource.
...comes with a hand CD-ROM for on-the-go landlord. The CD has files of all forms featured and discussed in the book, as well as sample landlord-tenant conversations. Nothing has been left of out this complete guide and the format makes it simple to focus on a particular theme, and revisit others on a when-the-time-comes basis.
...This book is a solid ten and highly recommended to building pwners, 1031 Exchange Qualifying Intermediaries, real estate editors and educators, leasing and rental managers, real estate agents and brokers.
Worth getting for the forms on cd-rom.......2006-11-03
I find the forms included with the book on cd-rom to be very useful (they are included as both PDF and RTF files--you can edit the RTF files in any word processor.
However, the book itself is mostly 'duh', and what it does say it repeats. The book could easily have been 100 pages shorter. Almost all of what the book says can be found in more concise form in a good book on landlording (such as Leigh Robinson's book 'Landlording'). Also, the legal issues of finding tenants and not discriminating are better addressed in Nolo's "Every Landlord's Legal Guide".
So while this book is worth getting for the forms, it offers little information in the book itself that is not better said elsewhere.

Wanna save money?.......2007-09-27
This book not only describes detailed info about valid tax write-offs, but also has an insight into how to think as a Landlord. As a first-time Landlord, the book put into perspective why a repair can sometimes be better than a replacement and why. Lots of really good info if you don't want to pay for an expensive accountant! Highly recommended!
Best friend at Tax time.......2007-07-06

THis book gives you very detailed info and also gives you an examples after each topic so that you can understand how you can apply the info into your real life. I am not a very good reader, but I can easily read this book and understand.
Great item and transaction.......2007-01-09
Many thanks to the seller - the book was in great condition and I received it promptly
Absolutely Essential.......2006-10-31
I am a law student at Yale Law School and my husband is an attorney. We own and I manage about 5 rental properties. This book is absolutely essential for anyone owning a rental property. Do not depend on your accountant as a substitute as most accountants will not know this kind of detailed information about real estate rentals (unless they specialize in it or maybe have their own rentals.) My accountant who has been in practice over 20 years did not know a lot of essential stuff which I had to guide him through(it may be time for a new accountant). If I had not read this book I would have been doomed. Because I can qualify for the unlimited deduction (not just $25,000) for rental losses, we have literally saved tens of thousands of dollars in taxes we would have otherwise had to pay on my husband's salary, legally, with the guidance of this book. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is written in a very easy to understand format and gives you almost all the information you need in one place. You cannot rely on others to properly arrange your financial affairs in this specialized area. By reading this book you will know how to buy, finance, and repair properties in ways that produce the most effective tax benefits. Consider yourself lucky that you are aware this book is out there and purchase immediately if you own rentals.

Tenant's do have rights!!!!.......2005-08-28
Until you read this book, you will be taken advantage of from landlords who know you haven't read the book. I have rented for years and thought if I am a good tenant and pay my rent everything will be wonderful...UNTIL that day!!! By reading this book, I learned there were many times as a renter my rights were violated. I am an excellent tenant with more knowledge. By knowing my rights I have been able to keep situations from getting to the UGLY stage between the tenant and landlord.

Book Description
New York is notoriously tough on landlords. The state's landlord-tenant laws are a confusing jumble that favor renters. And of the over three million residential rental units in New York State, nearly half are subject to complicated rent regulation laws, complete with tricky formulas for determining the monthly rent. Botching these calculations can lead to rent overcharge complaints, rent reduction orders and even triple damages against landlords who aren't careful.
The New York Landlord's Law Book explains New York landlord-tenant law in comprehensive, understandable terms, and gives landlords the tools they need to head off problems with tenants and government agencies alike. Packed with practical advice, the book covers the basics such as choosing good tenants, preparing leases, hiring supers and resident managers, collecting overdue rent, making repairs and terminating problem tenants. In addition, The New York Landlord's Law Book provides "nuts and bolts advice" on how to comply with the latest laws on rent stabilization and rent control, fair housing, security deposits, required services, roommates and sublets, tenants, privacy, pets, environmental hazards such as lead and much more.
The New York Landlord's Law Book provides an exhaustive appendix of four dozen legal forms, available as tear-outs and on disk, including a lease, rental application, rent demand, security deposit itemization and termination notices.
Written by an attorney specializing in landlord-tenant law, The New York Landlord's Law Book belongs in the hands of every landlord, managing agent, resident manager and building superintendent, and anyone else involved in the rental real estate market in New York.

REQUIRED READING!.......2004-03-07
As a beginner starting out in the rental business, this book was the most helpful that i have found. It is very thorough, but incredibly well organized and easy to use. The forms section and included CD ROM really give you everything you need to get started. Of course you will want to alter them a bit and make them more suitable for your specific situation, but doing so is quick and easy. A friend of mine who has been in the landlording business for quite a while actually rushed out and bought a copy of his own after viewing mine. Truly a great book!

Book Description
This book contains papers and posters presented at the 18th Eucarpia Fodder Crops Section Meeting held at Loen, Nordfjord, Norway in August 1993.
In most environments some form of marginal conditions or stress prevails. Few crops are being produced under such a wide range of environmental and management stresses as fodder crops. Improved adaptation of fodder crops to marginal conditions is crucial in developing sustainable, low-input agricultural systems. The book is unique in demonstrating the large diversity both in crops and environmental stresses that confront the forage breeders. Both general and specific aspects of adaptation to marginal growing conditions are presented, ranging from problems caused by snow and ice in the Subarctic regions of Europe to the severe drought problems in the Mediterranean regions.
For everyone involved in studies of adaptation and breeding of perennial plants for marginal conditions or stress environments.
