Fails to keep its promise: Metric War + Compensation

By Markus Breuer - July 1, 2001

This book does NOT offer 'A practical guide to valuation' but a theoretical,oldfashioned discussion of the 'Metrics War'and some empirical research on EVA, Compensation and CFROI-Fade.My rating has got these origins: Empirical research on Compensation,EVA and CFROI-Fade: A+.

Excellent book

By Eleanor Bloxham - August 13, 2002

As an author, speaker and consultant on these topics, I highly recommend this book. Not only have the authors discussed the pros and cons of a number of approaches thoughfully and concisely, they also expand the level of understanding related to the calculations in an accessible way. Their book discusses both implementation issues and the nitty gritty of the mechanics. In sum, the book takes the reader to the next level of understanding. I highly recommend this book.
