Objective of the Research
The study also aims to give a general picture of how shareholder value is created as a
background to measuring shareholder value.
Direct factors includes
1. Capital budgeting (dividend policy, capital structure, weighted average cost of capital, required rate of
return);
2. Corporate governance (agency theory);
3. Market environment (industry regulations);
4. Business ethics and corporate social responsibility (accountability, earnings quality, stakeholder theory);
5. Shareholder’s return measurement (TSR, EVA, Cash return on investment);
6. Innovations as return driver (R&D investments, intangibles)
Many indirect factors can affect shareholder value such as the environment surrounding the firm,
weaker business climate, political situation, and currency fluctuations. Which are seldom studied
in previous work.
Research problems:
1)what happens to product/service outcomes and/or profit and/or the environment when
shareholder value becomes the primary corporate goal?
How much cash should firms give back to their shareholders ? should corporations pay their
sharholders through dividends or by repurchasing their shares, which is the least costly form of
payout from tax perspective?
Which of the financial characteristics of a firm its management should concentrate on, when
maximizing the wealth of the shareholders??
Who benefits from corporate commitment to shareholders?
Impact of the dividend policy on shareholders value?
The effect of acquisitions and offshoring on the sharholder value?
How should sharholder value be measured?
Research methodology:
Secondary research—authoritative sources---sebi,bse,nse,cmie and ministry of statistics, project
management offices,Indian industrial groth---specific companies
Most people today would say corporations have but one proper purpose: maximizing their
shareholders’ wealth as measured by stock price. Other goals--serving customers, building great
products, providing good jobs—are viewed as legitimate business ends only to the extent they increase
“shareholder value.”
Indeed, there is good reason to suspect that focusing on “shareholder value” may in fact be a mistake
for most business firms. This is because there is no single shareholder value—different shareholders
have different needs and interests depending on their investing time frame, degrees of diversification
and interests in other assets, and perspectives on corporate ethics and social responsibility. Shareholder
value ideology focuses on the interests of only a narrow subgroup of shareholders, those who are most
short-sighted, opportunistic, willing to impose external costs, and indifferent to ethics and others’
welfare. As a result shareholder value thinking can lead managers to focus myopically on short-term
earnings reports at the expense of long-term performance; discourage investment and innovation; harm
employees, customers, and communities; and lure companies into reckless and socially irresponsible
behaviors. This ultimately harms most shareholders themselves—along with employees, customers, and
communities.
To measure shareholder value creation has been the issue of discussion all
around the world. It has become crucial since the companies were increasingly
committing to creating shareholder value. Old traditional measures are
criticised for having low correlation with shareholder value creation. Therefore,
new valuation methods are needed to measure the shareholder value creation.
However, the changing process from the traditional methods to the new ones is
not easily welcomed. How then shareholder value creation is measured
nowadays is of crucial importance. In order to address this issue, the thesis
presents in a general way how shareholder value is created as a background to
the valuation methods being used for shareholder value creation measurement.
1.1 Background
One of the most frequently used terms in business today is Shareholder value.
The "equity culture" wildfire is spreading rapidly from the US to the rest of the
world (Thakor et al, 2000). It is seen as crucial all over the world. In Sweden
the new measurement systems of shareholder value creation were introduced in
the last decade and have been slowly introduced in various companies. Indeed,
some of the leading companies like SCA and SKF have made the creation of
shareholder value one of their key corporate objectives.
In the other parts of Europe this idea had spread earlier and rapidly. In
Germany, for example, Veba’s – one of the industrial giants – CEO closed
divisions that date back to Veba’s beginning, fired long-time managers, and
laid off thousand of workers – all in the name of investors. That CEO worried
about shareholder value. ―Satisfying the shareholders is the best way to make
sure that other stakeholders are served as well. It does no good when all the
jobs are in the sick companies‖—said that CEO (Eitemann at al, 2000).
What is shareholder value and why should the financial managers care about it?
If shareholders believe that the corporation is underperforming, they can try to
replace the board in the next election. If they succeed, the new board will
appoint a new management team. But the vote on a new board is quite
expensive and rarely successful so the shareholder will simply sell their shares
(Brealey and Myers, 2000).
Moreover shareholders are the owners of the corporation and the board of
directors are their representative and elected by them. The objective function of
the corporation is to maximize the shareholder value. Managers in most of the
developed world must focus on building shareholder value (Copeland et al,
2000).

If the managers and director don’t maximize value, there is always the threat of
a hostile takeover. The further a company’s stock price falls, due to the wrongheaded
policy, the easier it is for another company or group of investors to buy
up a majority of the shares.
Large institutional investors are increasingly influencing corporate policies.
They are creating a heightened awareness of the role of compensation-based
incentives in focusing executive efforts on creating shareholder value.
Companies are rewarding senior executives with shares and with options on
these shares. Thus, share price is now critical for most senior executives
(Thakor et al, 2000).
Most executives today understand that the need to create shareholder value is
paramount and the world’s most competitive management teams are
responding to the pressure to create value by embracing new metrics and new
models for managing their companies (Copeland et al, 2000)
Traditionally a variety of measures were used to show how much value was
created. Some of them are earning per share (EPS), Return on Investment
(ROI) and Return on Equity, EVA (economic value added). Moreover a variety
of consulting firms have been creating their own measures and recommending
them to their clients.
In today’s Globalized world characterized by accelerated competition
companies must stimulate profitable growth, measure value creation and
continually learn from success and setbacks. The only companies that can
acquire new capital, grow and remain profitable are those that create value.
Active shareholders are putting more pressure on corporate management to
measure and communicate how they are creating value and shareholders find
anything other than value-creating companies unacceptable (Anelda, 2000).
Scott (1998) expressed that there is no doubt that nowadays the principal goal
of management is the enhancement of shareholder value and this means
Chapter 1 − Introduction

maximizing the returns generated to those people who have an ownership stake
in the business.
This idea of creating shareholder value comes as an imperative to many
companies and leads them to get actively involved in that process. Companies
create shareholder value through a set of strategies, depending on what they
believe would create more value.
2.1 Research approach
In the process of answering our research issue we used different approaches.
We used an explorative approach. We went through the literature to document
the shareholder value related issues in order to get basis information about the
research issue. We also used a descriptive approach during the theoretical part
where we give a general view on the existing ways of creating shareholder
value and the existing methods of valuing shareholder value creation. Our
thesis has also a prescriptive part where we explain what ought to be done in
this area of creating and measuring shareholder value. We believe these
approaches are best for our study since they allow us to better document
ourselves, describe and prescribe furthermore, all these are vital in answering
our research issue.
Why is creating shareholder value suddenly
becoming a credo in corporate boardrooms?
There are many reasons for this renewed emphasis
on measuring and managing shareholder value,
prominent among which are the following:
l Capital markets are becoming increasingly
global. Investors can readily shift investments
to higher yielding, often foreign, opportunities.
l Corporate governance is shifting, with owners
now demanding accountability from corporate
executives. Manifestations of the increased
assertiveness of shareholders include the
necessity for executives to justify their compensation
levels, and well-publicized lists of
underperforming companies and overpaid
executives.
l Executives are concerned with self-preservation.
Well-publicized hostile takeovers have
served notice to all levels of management that
weak financial performance is unacceptable
and may precipitate a fight for corporate control.
This potential loss of control has motivated
many executives to better understand the
importance of measuring and managing shareholder
expectations.
There is also considerable dissatisfaction with
existing accounting-based earnings and return
measures. Evidence is mounting that accounting
measures such as earnings per share (EPS) and
profit or growth in earnings do not take into
account the cost of the investment required to
run the business. Similarly, return-based measures,
such as return on assets, often motivate managers to make short-term dysfunctional
decisions that encourage underinvestment.
Furthermore, neither earnings nor return measures
appear to correlate well with actual market
values of companies.
II. SCOPE
This Statement compares and contrasts various
measures that claim to quantify management’s
shareholder-value-creation abilities and describes
the issues and challenges faced in order to
implement an operating paradigm resulting
from these measures—value-based management
(hereafter referred to as VBM1).
This Statement applies to all firms, private and
public, large and small, whose managers are
interested in creating value for their shareholders/
owners. It will help management accountants and
others to:
l understand the fundamental concepts of
shareholder-value creation;
l link value creation to shareholder-wealth
maximization;
l unravel financial and operational drivers that
can lead to improved performance and thereby
improve shareholder-value creation;
l understand the differences among a variety of
measures that assess management performance
within the context of shareholder-value
creation and wealth maximization;
l appreciate the organizational and management
accounting challenges in implementing VBM to
improve shareholder-value creation; and
l broaden shareholder and management awareness
of the importance of shareholder-value creation.
Value based Methods
Value based management could be claimed to be evolutional in terms of its break with
past management accounting bases of performance measurement. There are numerous
different VBM techniques, including residual-income type approaches, such as economic
profit and EVA, 'shareholder value added' approaches, and 'cash flow return on
investment' (CFROI). The key advantage of applying VBM techniques is that it can
affect the behaviour of an organisation. Critical to the successful adoption of VBM
techniques is actually changing the behaviour of employees so that VBM can be used as a
strategic tool

Research problems: 1)what happens to product/service outcomes and/or profit and/or the environment when shareholder value becomes the primary corporate goal? How much cash should firms give back to their shareholders ? should corporations pay their sharholders through dividends or by repurchasing their shares, which is the least costly form of payout from tax perspective? Which of the financial characteristics of a firm its management should concentrate on, when maximizing the wealth of the shareholders?? Who benefits from corporate commitment to shareholders? Impact of the dividend policy on shareholders value? The effect of acquisitions and offshoring on the sharholder value? How should sharholder value be measured?
  • 2. Research methodology: Secondary research—authoritative sources---sebi,bse,nse,cmie and ministry of statistics, project management offices,Indian industrial groth---specific companies Most people today would say corporations have but one proper purpose: maximizing their shareholders’ wealth as measured by stock price. Other goals--serving customers, building great products, providing good jobs—are viewed as legitimate business ends only to the extent they increase “shareholder value.” Indeed, there is good reason to suspect that focusing on “shareholder value” may in fact be a mistake for most business firms. This is because there is no single shareholder value—different shareholders have different needs and interests depending on their investing time frame, degrees of diversification and interests in other assets, and perspectives on corporate ethics and social responsibility. Shareholder value ideology focuses on the interests of only a narrow subgroup of shareholders, those who are most short-sighted, opportunistic, willing to impose external costs, and indifferent to ethics and others’ welfare. As a result shareholder value thinking can lead managers to focus myopically on short-term earnings reports at the expense of long-term performance; discourage investment and innovation; harm employees, customers, and communities; and lure companies into reckless and socially irresponsible behaviors. This ultimately harms most shareholders themselves—along with employees, customers, and communities. To measure shareholder value creation has been the issue of discussion all around the world. It has become crucial since the companies were increasingly committing to creating shareholder value. Old traditional measures are criticised for having low correlation with shareholder value creation. Therefore, new valuation methods are needed to measure the shareholder value creation. However, the changing process from the traditional methods to the new ones is not easily welcomed. How then shareholder value creation is measured nowadays is of crucial importance. In order to address this issue, the thesis presents in a general way how shareholder value is created as a background to the valuation methods being used for shareholder value creation measurement. 1.1 Background One of the most frequently used terms in business today is Shareholder value. The "equity culture" wildfire is spreading rapidly from the US to the rest of the
  • 3. world (Thakor et al, 2000). It is seen as crucial all over the world. In Sweden the new measurement systems of shareholder value creation were introduced in the last decade and have been slowly introduced in various companies. Indeed, some of the leading companies like SCA and SKF have made the creation of shareholder value one of their key corporate objectives. In the other parts of Europe this idea had spread earlier and rapidly. In Germany, for example, Veba’s – one of the industrial giants – CEO closed divisions that date back to Veba’s beginning, fired long-time managers, and laid off thousand of workers – all in the name of investors. That CEO worried about shareholder value. ―Satisfying the shareholders is the best way to make sure that other stakeholders are served as well. It does no good when all the jobs are in the sick companies‖—said that CEO (Eitemann at al, 2000). What is shareholder value and why should the financial managers care about it? If shareholders believe that the corporation is underperforming, they can try to replace the board in the next election. If they succeed, the new board will appoint a new management team. But the vote on a new board is quite expensive and rarely successful so the shareholder will simply sell their shares (Brealey and Myers, 2000). Moreover shareholders are the owners of the corporation and the board of directors are their representative and elected by them. The objective function of the corporation is to maximize the shareholder value. Managers in most of the developed world must focus on building shareholder value (Copeland et al, 2000). Creating and measuring shareholder value by Beatrice Nyiramahoro and Natalia Shooshina 2 If the managers and director don’t maximize value, there is always the threat of a hostile takeover. The further a company’s stock price falls, due to the wrongheaded policy, the easier it is for another company or group of investors to buy up a majority of the shares. Large institutional investors are increasingly influencing corporate policies. They are creating a heightened awareness of the role of compensation-based incentives in focusing executive efforts on creating shareholder value. Companies are rewarding senior executives with shares and with options on these shares. Thus, share price is now critical for most senior executives (Thakor et al, 2000). Most executives today understand that the need to create shareholder value is paramount and the world’s most competitive management teams are responding to the pressure to create value by embracing new metrics and new models for managing their companies (Copeland et al, 2000) Traditionally a variety of measures were used to show how much value was created. Some of them are earning per share (EPS), Return on Investment (ROI) and Return on Equity, EVA (economic value added). Moreover a variety of consulting firms have been creating their own measures and recommending
  • 4. them to their clients. In today’s Globalized world characterized by accelerated competition companies must stimulate profitable growth, measure value creation and continually learn from success and setbacks. The only companies that can acquire new capital, grow and remain profitable are those that create value. Active shareholders are putting more pressure on corporate management to measure and communicate how they are creating value and shareholders find anything other than value-creating companies unacceptable (Anelda, 2000). Scott (1998) expressed that there is no doubt that nowadays the principal goal of management is the enhancement of shareholder value and this means Chapter 1 − Introduction 3 maximizing the returns generated to those people who have an ownership stake in the business. This idea of creating shareholder value comes as an imperative to many companies and leads them to get actively involved in that process. Companies create shareholder value through a set of strategies, depending on what they believe would create more value. 2.1 Research approach In the process of answering our research issue we used different approaches. We used an explorative approach. We went through the literature to document the shareholder value related issues in order to get basis information about the research issue. We also used a descriptive approach during the theoretical part where we give a general view on the existing ways of creating shareholder value and the existing methods of valuing shareholder value creation. Our thesis has also a prescriptive part where we explain what ought to be done in this area of creating and measuring shareholder value. We believe these approaches are best for our study since they allow us to better document ourselves, describe and prescribe furthermore, all these are vital in answering our research issue. Why is creating shareholder value suddenly becoming a credo in corporate boardrooms? There are many reasons for this renewed emphasis on measuring and managing shareholder value, prominent among which are the following: l Capital markets are becoming increasingly global. Investors can readily shift investments
  • 5. to higher yielding, often foreign, opportunities. l Corporate governance is shifting, with owners now demanding accountability from corporate executives. Manifestations of the increased assertiveness of shareholders include the necessity for executives to justify their compensation levels, and well-publicized lists of underperforming companies and overpaid executives. l Executives are concerned with self-preservation. Well-publicized hostile takeovers have served notice to all levels of management that weak financial performance is unacceptable and may precipitate a fight for corporate control. This potential loss of control has motivated many executives to better understand the importance of measuring and managing shareholder expectations. There is also considerable dissatisfaction with existing accounting-based earnings and return measures. Evidence is mounting that accounting measures such as earnings per share (EPS) and profit or growth in earnings do not take into account the cost of the investment required to run the business. Similarly, return-based measures, such as return on assets, often motivate managers to make short-term dysfunctional decisions that encourage underinvestment. Furthermore, neither earnings nor return measures appear to correlate well with actual market values of companies. II. SCOPE This Statement compares and contrasts various measures that claim to quantify management’s shareholder-value-creation abilities and describes the issues and challenges faced in order to implement an operating paradigm resulting from these measures—value-based management (hereafter referred to as VBM1). This Statement applies to all firms, private and public, large and small, whose managers are interested in creating value for their shareholders/ owners. It will help management accountants and others to: l understand the fundamental concepts of shareholder-value creation; l link value creation to shareholder-wealth maximization; l unravel financial and operational drivers that can lead to improved performance and thereby improve shareholder-value creation; l understand the differences among a variety of measures that assess management performance within the context of shareholder-value creation and wealth maximization; l appreciate the organizational and management accounting challenges in implementing VBM to
  • 6. improve shareholder-value creation; and l broaden shareholder and management awareness of the importance of shareholder-value creation. Value based Methods Value based management could be claimed to be evolutional in terms of its break with past management accounting bases of performance measurement. There are numerous different VBM techniques, including residual-income type approaches, such as economic profit and EVA, 'shareholder value added' approaches, and 'cash flow return on investment' (CFROI). The key advantage of applying VBM techniques is that it can affect the behaviour of an organisation. Critical to the successful adoption of VBM techniques is actually changing the behaviour of employees so that VBM can be used as a strategic tool
