Added value: the link between performance measures

Article Abstract:

Corporate performance is ascertained in varying ways due to the range of acceptable frameworks on it. The different measures of a company's financial performance include profits and earnings per share, cash flow, share prices, capital gains, dividends, and competitive advantage. Advocates of the different measures are constantly in disagreement. However, this need not be the case. It is shown that these measures are actually linked together by added value. The added value element is defined as the difference between the output value generated by a company and the input cost it uses. An assessment of the different measures prove that they are all equivalent entities and basically differ only in timing. Moreover, it is demonstrated thatthey are all valid measures of the value of a company's competitive advantage and strategic assets and added value serves as the link between all these methods.

Raising equity after Big Bang

Article Abstract:

The reorganization of the United Kingdom securities market (Big Bang) started in 1983 with proposals to liberalize trading methods and membership rules. These measures were accepted in 1985; however, instead of simply increasing competition, they had unforeseen effects: international security houses and major banks with large financial resources bought out major jobbing firms and brokers, with the result that the securities market has an international character. Rights issues are now optional, and companies have the right to chose the issue method that gives them the greatest value for their money.
