Becoming a Better Value
Creator
How to Improve the Company's
Bottom Line--and Your Own
Why do some companies perform
beyond expectation year after year while others start out strong but quickly fizzle? The
answer lies in their ability to create long-term value. In this book, Anjan Thakor, a
leading professor at the University of Michigan Business School, reveals the five secrets
to creating value by incorporating the efforts of marketing, manufacturing, human
resources, and finance into an overall strategy that ensures bottom-line success. What
Thakor teaches lets you:
• Discover the real meaning
of value, both to individuals and to organizations
• Develop keen insight into
the multiple and often conflicting perspectives on value creation that exist within an
organization
• Learn how to develop your
own personal success strategy in tandem with the organization's own strategy for success
• Develop the appropriate
measures of success
• Become a master of speed
Thakor's fresh look at what
makes companies work shows managers how they can identify the factors that create value
and use them to benefit their organizations and their own careers
