Abstract
Linda Tan, a recent MBA graduate and a financial news reporter, was given an assignment to analyse the financial performance of various Asian and American companies. It was her job to present her findings in a front-page feature on ''identifying value creators''. To assess which company created or destroyed value for investors, Linda would make use of several financial criteria. These included the use of economic profit, also known as Economic Value Added (EVA) analysis and other classic approaches to performance analysis. Because the 1996-2000 period spanned the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Linda could also investigate the consistency of the performance measures under different market conditions.
