Research background: As companies evolve over time, so do their goals. In the past, the main goals of companies were profit and goals (as market share), are no longer relevant or effective. These goals are outdated, and companies have replaced them with goals that are consistent with the current changing times of competition. Worldwide, most large companies are using, or planning to use, a new approach called value-based management that focuses on value creation. Therefore, the main goal of companies using a value-based management approach is value creation. Purpose: This study aims to validate the existence of a statistically significant relationship between the economic value added (EVA) indicator, which represents the successful implementation of the value creation process in companies, and selected value generators. Method: For this study, information about 14,313 companies operating in the Visegrad Four countries were collected from their respective financial statements. The research period was 2019–2020. Twenty value generators were selected for this study. The hypotheses were tested using the correlation coefficient. The strength of the relationship between the observed variables is described by using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings and value added: A trivial or small dependence was observed between the EVA indicator and non-current assets, current financial assets, and income tax. A moderate dependence was observed between the EVA indicator and stocks, receivables, interest expenses, and other liabilities. A large dependence was observed between the EVA indicator and bank loans, profit and loss (P/L) statement, and the cost of capital. The survey results can be a useful tool for businesses in their efforts to focus on a suitable value generator in the process of value-based management implementation, focusing on the process of value creation.

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.

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.

In wake of recent economic reforms in India with an aim of stabilizing the economy of India under the era of globalisation, banking industry has experienced a canonical shift in terms of value creation practices, methods and metrics for measuring bank’s performance. Value based management has long been hailed as the major objective of financial management of banks. A new trajectory of value based performance evaluation metrics have evolved and became an imperative of evaluating the performance of banks. The present study has been undertaken with the objective to measure the performance and value creation in the selected banks. The selected sample was taken from the public and private sector banks listed on stock exchange in India. In this study, Economic Value Added (EVA) and Market Value Added (MVA) across the selected banks were calculated based on the accounting figures and their difference was determined. The results showed significant difference between economic value added and market value added in selected banks is quite meaningful and significant.

The stock exchange, as one of the most important and critical economic centers, plays a significant role in sustainable economic development by attracting and properly directing the investment and liquidity of various groups of the society. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of dividend payments on the economic value added of companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange. In this research, the statistical population includes all 444 accepted companies in the stock exchange. By examining the financial statements, applying the necessary constraints and performing random sampling, 115 qualified companies were finally extracted. The Cochran formula method was used for sampling. In this study, after collecting the necessary information, the dividend and economic value added of the sample companies were calculated. The relationship between the study variables was measured using Pearson correlation coefficient. The tests and analyzes show that there is a positive correlation coefficient between the dividend and the dependent variable of economic value added in the capital market of Iran.

Operating in an already challenging business environment, companies have faced yet another difficulty since March 2020, when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic situation related to the COVID-19 disease. The study's purpose was to analyze the value creation in Euronext Lisbon companies from the first semester of 2019 to the first semester of 2020. The aim was also to identify the areas with the most impact on value creation. To measure value creation, the indicator economic value added (EVA®) was used. The results revealed that the capacity to create value decreased for all companies. The variables included in the study that showed a statistically significant relationship with EVA® were operating profit, sales revenue, and cost of equity. This pandemic situation poses a significant threat to value creation, enhancing the idea that, more than ever, business management needs to focus on long-term value creation strategies.

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.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the superiority of economic value added (EVA) over the traditional accounting performance measures, i.e. earnings per share, return on assets and return on equity. For this purpose, the relative and incremental information content of EVA and accounting measures are tested by examining the relationship of these measures with stock returns. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is performed for a sample of 50 Indian companies selected from the index Nifty 50 for the period of 2008-2011. The penal regression models are applied to examine the relative and incremental information content of EVA and traditional performance measures. Findings – The study finds that EVA has more relevant and incremental information content than accounting measures for analyzing shareholder value creation. These results confirm that EVA is better performance measure than traditional accounting measures. Research limitations/implications – The study could be further extended for the sample of other firms covering the specific industries and sectors. The calculation of EVA could be modified with respect to the adjustment in profit after tax and the calculation of cost of capital. Practical implications – The study has implications for the managers who are responsible to generate the wealth of shareholders by formulating the corporate financial policies. The findings also help investors who are closely concerned with the financial health of the firm while taking their investment decisions. Originality/value – The novelty of this study is that it relates total return of firm’s stock with the financial measures unlike the previous literature.

Strategic management has produced an amazing number of theories and models in the last decades. However, so far it has not succeeded in producing a good integrative model that can synthesize all the existing models. In a previous paper I proposed such a model (from now on we will refer to it as the GEMK model, in relation to Growth-EVA-Market Power-Knowledge). It is based on the two drivers of stock value creation, Economic Value Added (EVA) and growth of capital, and proposes two new testable variables, market power and knowledge. This paper is the application of the GEMK model. It shows how most of existing strategic management models impact stock value creation. It produces a valuable simplification of the discipline, eliminates confrontations, shows that several different theories are complementary, provides a new powerful critical thinking, and shows that the different theories are contingent to these four variables. Most importantly, it shows that the different theories have different levels of impact on stock value creation.

Various studies have studied the effect of corporate social responsibility on the performance of organizations. The recent studies in this field specifically have considered the measurement of corporate social responsibility. The present study is aimed to measure the different dimensions of corporate social responsibility and their impact on the performance of firms based on economic value-added and cash value added. Based on the extensive concept of corporate social responsibility, to evaluate each of economic, legal and ethical dimensions, corporate social responsibility based on Carrol theory has applied a new method to quantify this qualitative concept. The statistical sample consists of 104 firms during 2007 to 2016. To test the study hypotheses, multi-variate regression model and pooled data methods are used. It was found that there was a positive and significant relationship between economic, legal and ethical dimensions of corporate social responsibility and value-added. It means that economic value added and cash value added are affected via corporate social responsibility in different dimensions and are increased.
