This paper examines a failed change initiative (the implementation of economic value added, EVA™) in an in-depth case study of a major UK retailer (RetailCo, a pseudonym). The paper locates this change initiative within inter-professional competition between on the one hand the finance managers and on the other hand the buyers and merchandisers in RetailCo. Finance managers sought to strengthen their professional jurisdiction and enhance their financial and symbolic rewards by imposing stricter controls over buyers and merchandisers, which the latter resented as an undesirable intervention into their work practices and mobilized their influence and work knowledge to ensure the abandonment of EVA. This boundary work involved the use of a multiplicity of entry points centred on control strategies and the fundamentals of retailing. Implications for professional competition and organizational change are considered.

In this paper, we examine the concept of the social balance sheet (SBS) and its evolution in corporate social reports that large companies have to issue today in their yearly statements. The SBS allows companies to evaluate their compliance with corporate social responsibility during a specific period and quantify its level of accomplishment. From a methodological perspective, this research analyzed the information that should be contained in the SBS report comparing economic value added (EVA) with other social value added statements (SVA), analyzing also in detail the case of Spain’s Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) bank as one of the pioneers in offering social reports. Along with this study, their metrics following EVA were recalculated and a more academic SVA statement was proposed for this specific case.

This chapter is a descriptive and explicative case study about value creation at Siemens in an uncertain and in a certain environment. Siemens has implemented economic value-added-based management since 1998. The empirical data analysis highlights value creation at Siemens at the beginning of the innovation lifecycle, when the environment is uncertain, and at the end of the innovation lifecycle, when contracts are signed, and the environment becomes predictable. Innovation is first placed in open networks, in which start-ups are essential, to which venture capital is allocated using business models. This is the ideation stage of the product lifecycle, when competitive advantage, the essence of value creation in both theory and the Siemens example, is created. Innovation matures, and Siemens closes contracts with customers about existing customer offerings. These contracts are managed as projects and funded with equity and debt. This is the stage when sufficient data exists to plan economic value added, the focus of Siemens' corporate governance.

Convertible bonds are attractive because they offer alternatives for both issuers and investors. Therefore, several companies have used this financial mechanism to raise capital. Although several studies have been published on this topic, mandatory convertible bonds (MCBs), which are subsets of convertible bonds, and their effect on economic value added (EVA) have not been explored deeply. This study analyses what happens to the EVA before, during and after the issuance when investors are involved as shareholders of a company issuing MCBs. A Colombian company is used as a case study. The results reveal that one of the main reasons behind the change in the EVA is not only the weighted average cost of capital or the invested capital but also the operating profit. The net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) depends on operating profit. Therefore, to generate a positive EVA, the NOPAT margin needs to be higher than the margin of financing costs.

The One

The modern indicators of the performance of business entity are based on an economic conception of profit. It means that alternative costs and risks are taken into account in construction of these indicators. Moreover, the modern indicators would also enable to clearly and digestedly identify the links on each level of management, and therefore to support the value-based management. The one of these modern indicators is Economic Value Added. This indicator has been introduced by Stewart Stern & Co. in the early nineties. As some Czech authors state (e.g. Synek, 2007), domestic alternative of the EVA indicator are the IN indexes which has been developing since the middle of the nineties as overall indexes of company’s financial health especially because the indexes coming from abroad had not a good differentiation ability with regard to specifics of the Czech economic environment. The objective of this article is to define the relations between the values of EVA indicator and the values of the index IN 99 while the analysis is focused on agricultural companies of mixed farming. The authors base their work on differences in constructions of these two indicators and on ­differences in interpretations of their results. Primarily, basic correlation of values of these indicators has been observed. The calculation of Pearson correlation coefficient has been applied on the set of fifty business entities, and the calculated result of 0.669 shows relatively stronger linear dependence. Consequent test has verified a statistical significance of this dependence. Then in this article, the authors are focused on causations of this dependence which is rather strong in spite of a different logic of these two indicators. Other consequences of overall view on company’s economic performance are discussed in the article as well.

Value Based Management

The main objective of this paper is to check if value-based management in its classic design, 1980-2000, still works in the practice of one of its most prominent cases, Siemens. The paper also aims to describe value-based management in Siemens’ practice 1998-2020. This should enable a comparison between theory and practice the paper targets. The research methodology is case study: literature review, empirical data analysis, conclusions based on comparison. The case study is exploratory and descriptive. The article relies on secondary evidence about Siemens during 1998-2020, selects the evidence that pertains to value-based management and constructs the Siemens case example. The article is based on a large body of evidence, where the statements about value-based management are chosen based on their relationship to key words such as value, value drivers, value creation. The results may be the confirmation or denial of classic value-based management. The conclusion is that managing for Economic Value Added still works in the current business context. Other findings are Siemens’ driver tree during 1998-2020 in thorough description.
