Could it be because you've been thinking about value all wrong? According to the authors of this groundbreaking guide, there's a very good chance that you have. Using examples from leading companies worldwide, they explain why every decision a company makes either creates value or detracts from it, and why, if they hope to survive and thrive in today's increasingly competitive global marketplace, company leaders must make value-creation the centrepiece of every business decision. Authors Kaiser and Young have dubbed this approach \"Blue-Line Management,\" (BLM), and in this entertaining, highly accessible book, they delineate BLM principles and practices and show you how to implement them in your company.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains why the failure to properly define and assess value often makes it difficult for the people who manage businesses to effect long-term success\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers guidelines for making the satisfaction of customer needs and wants—i.e. value creation—the driver of all business activities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe authors are respected academics at INSEAD, the world's largest and most respected graduate business school, with campuses in Europe, Asia and the Middle East\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 What is Value? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 The Global Capital Market 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 The Opportunity Cost of Capital 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 The Expected Future Free Cash Flows 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Blue Line Management 93\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Shifting to Blue 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 The Hazard of Growth 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Creating a Blue Line Culture 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Trust and Hierarchy in Blue Line Management 195\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Value and Decision-Making 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Getting Net Present Value Right 233\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Becoming a Blue Line Manager 269\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix Blue Line Questions 289\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 297\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52460667830552,"sku":"9781118510889","price":23.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118510889.jpg?v=1785457451","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-blue-line-imperative-what-managing-for-value-really-means-hardback-9781118510889","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
