Abstract

Shareholder value analysis (SVA) is the subject of much debate. Some managers herald it as a great contribution to corporate planning; others say it is too restrictive, too easily manipulated, or too dependent on subjective forecasts. The shortcoming is not in the technique itself but in the way companies apply it. SVA can lead managers astray in three ways: by undervaluing a strategy, by overvaluing a strategy, or by excluding strategy alternatives.
