Creating shareholder value

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 in-depth assessment of the rationale for shareholder value.

First sentence: The idea that management's primary responsibility is to increase value has gained widespread acceptance in United States since the publication of Creating Shareholder Value in 1986.
