Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 2,3, Cologne University of Applied Sciences, course: International Management and Business Consulting, language: English, abstract: According to BIS ( Department for Business innovation and skills ), Value Added measures the amount of wealth created by a company and is of particular importance since it reflects the ability of companies to provide their customers with what they want and are prepared to pay for. As such, it provides a broader perspective on a company‟s economic contribution than operating profit. Mathematically, Value Added = Company Sales – Bought-in goods. Value added is regarded as one of the most important objective of a Firm or a company because it measures the amount of the wealth created by a company, from where we can analyze how a particular company is contributing to the economy of a certain country. Every year the „Value Added Scoreboard‟ measures the overall growth of a company and examines the efficiencies. The analysis will be in many different sectors, sometimes differentiated by a country or a region which we will talk in this paper later. The British Minister of State for Science and innovation Lord Paul Drayson mentioned in his ministerial foreword that innovation is essential to national competitiveness and to ensure that countries can respond to global challenges and opportunities. He also mentions the clear ambition of British government to make the UK the best place to do business. Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr. Alistair Darling mentioned his support to innovative businesses in the UK. Many people believe that the coming century will be an Asian century with Asia contributing one third of the global GDP. This is also a good reason to make the UK and Europe most welcoming place for businesses and especially innovative businesses. As Darling „There are many opportunities for the UK firms, we are helping them to meet that challenge targeting skills, supporting exporters through UK Trade and Investment and backing innovation with measures like the Technology Strategy and R&D tax credits. Helping companies turn the ideas of today into the goods and services of tomorrow‟. This shows that the British government is determined to help the government and to support them in every step.

Document from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, Post Graduate Government College (PGGC-46, Chandigarh), course: Commerce, language: English, abstract: Moullin defined performance measurement as, "Performance measurement is evaluating how well organizations are managed and the value they deliver for customers and other stakeholders". According to Kelvin, 'When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it'. According to Anon, 'You cannot manage what you cannot measure'. The Economic Value Added (EVA) framework developed by the Stern Stewart & Company is gradually replacing the traditional measures of financial performance due to its robustness and its immunity from "creative accounting". Fortune magazine has called it "today's hottest financial idea and getting hotter" and management guru Peter Drucker referred to it as a measure of total factor productivity. The traditional measures for performance measurement, suffer from some serious limitations which are the main reason that these traditional methods based on earnings can't be used as a reliable measure of performance measurement. Hence, there is the need of new approaches for the performance measurement which takes stakeholder's perspective into consideration and shareholders wealth into consideration. EVA is a better performance measurement tool and it has been proved in the research done on 10 companies in India. EVA has been compared with traditional techniques like ROI, ROE, EPS, NVA and MVA and the results are presented. Suggestive measures have also been given at the end and reference tables are also given. The research will e beneficial for academicians and people associated with finance.

The choice of financial performance measures is one of the most critical challenges facing organizations. The accounting-based measures of financial performance have been viewed as inadequate, as firms began focusing on shareholder value as the primary long-term objective of the organization. Hence, value-based metrics were devised that explicitly incorporate the cost of capital into performance calculations. Despite the increasing emphasis on these value-based measures, no definitive evidence exists of which metric works better than others, and on the extent to which any of them is superior to traditional accounting measures. In this scenario, the objective of this book is contributing to the ongoing dialogue on the appropriateness of different financial performance measures, by providing a systematic and updated review of the major value-based measures, by highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses and by comparing the main international empirical evidence on their effectiveness. This book can be a powerful tool for guiding managers and graduate students in the “tangled forest” of the existing metrics, by providing them with the quick, but adequate knowledge for consistently adopting them.

Master's Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: A+, University at Albany, State University of New York, language: English, abstract: In order to do justice to the increased requirements on project and business controlling, there is a need for a systematic approach tailored to the corporation involved. Many corporations have been shown to prioritize improvement measures insufficiently, if at all, despite increased requirements on the economic viability of projects. Since resources are limited in all companies, improvement measures with the highest relative output should be given preference. The usual methods used up to now have been either inappropriate or are no longer sufficient. The Value Analyzer is a method-supported tool for estimating the expected improve¬ment of key performance indicators as a part of a general improvement in corporate performance. This makes it easy to focus on worthwhile measures and supports a general economic calculation to base a go/no go decision on before the start of an implementation project. Based on general key performance indicators, specific scenarios can be created and then altered and/or simulated by changing the parameters or factors of influence. This is all based on a three-level principle in the calculation model: • Definition of a primary goal, KPI (key performance indicator, for example inventory level) • Breakdown into part goals, KPI elements (performance indicator element, for example finished products inventory level) • Determination of appropriate measures for improving the part goal In the calculation of business scenarios that follows, the exact impact of enablers and the optimal combination of appropriate measures can be revealed, or possible measures can be prioritized according to specific aspects (e.g. effort in implementation). The more complex the situation, the higher the value added from the Value Analyzer’s structured solution.
