The #1 best-selling guide to business valuation, newly updated and revised

Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies has been the gold standard in measuring and managing company value for more than 30 years. Now in its eighth edition, this acclaimed volume continues to help corporate executives, bankers, students, and other financial professionals around the world gain a deep understanding of valuation as well as allow their companies to create and maximize economic value.

Called 'the best practitioners' guide to valuation' by The Financial Times and 'the most influential contemporary books about the world economy' by The Economist, the newly revised eighth McKinsey's long tradition of excellence. In the book, a team of veteran McKinsey & Company professionals walk you through the foundations of valuation, advanced topics like valuing high-growth companies and digital assets, and managerial topics such as corporate portfolio strategy and acquisitions. You'll also discover:

• Clear, accessible chapters with detailed guidance on the fundamental principles of value creation
• Best practices to apply valuation to business strategy questions and communicate with investors
• How to analyze and forecast performance, the cost of capital, and put it all together in a coherent valuation

McKinsey & Company has been helping businesses, governments, non-profit organizations and other institutions grow and thrive for almost 100 years . Valuation's authors draw on that storied history to bring you the most relevant, accurate, intuitive, and practical guide to valuation on the market today.

Textauszug

Acknowledgments

No book is solely the effort of its authors. This book is certainly no exception, especially since it grew out of the collective work of McKinsey’s Strategy & Corporate Finance Practice and the experiences of its consultants throughout the world.

Most important, we would like to thank the late Tom Copeland and Jack Murrin, two of the coauthors of the first three editions of this book. We are deeply indebted to them for establishing the book’s early success, for mentoring the current authors, and for their hard work in providing the foundations on which this edition builds.

Ennius Bergsma deserves our special thanks. Ennius initiated the development of McKinsey’s Strategy & Corporate Finance Practice in the mid-1980s. He inspired the original internal McKinsey valuation handbook and mustered the support and sponsorship to turn that handbook into a real book for an external audience.

Connor Guy, our lead editor, ensured that our ideas were expressed clearly and concisely. Jonathon Berlin and his team edited and oversaw the production of more than 400 exhibits, ensuring that they were carefully aligned with the text. Karen Schenkenfelder provided careful editing and feedback throughout the process. We are indebted to her excellent eye for detail.

The intellectual origins of this book lie in the present-value method of capital budgeting and in the valuation approach developed by Nobel laureates Merton Miller and Franco Modigliani in their 1961 Journal of Business article titled “Dividend Policy, Growth, and the Valuation of Shares.” Others have gone far to popularize their approach. In particular, Professor Alfred Rappaport (Northwestern University, professor emeritus) and the late Joel Stern (Stern Stewart & Co.) were among the first to extend the Miller-Modigliani enterprise valuation formula to real-world applications.

We would like to acknowledge those who have personally shaped our careers and knowledge of valuation, corporate finance, and strategy. For their support, teachings, and inspiration, we thank Buford Alexander, Tony Bernardo, Chris Bradley, Richard Dobbs, the late Mikel Dodd, Bernie Ferrari, Dick Foster, Martin Hirt, Bob Holthausen, Bill Huyett, Rob Kazanjian, John Kelleher, Dan Lovallo, Michael Gibbons, Ofer Nemirovsky, Eduardo Schwartz, Chandan Sengupta, Sven Smit, the late Jaap Spronk, the late Joel Stern, Bennett Stewart, Robert Uhlaner, Sunil Wahal, Ivo Welch, and Loek Zonnenberg.

Tim and Marc are founders of McKinsey’s Strategy & Corporate Finance Insights team, a group of dedicated corporate-finance experts who influence our thinking every day. A special thank-you to Bernie Ferrari, who initiated the group and nurtured its development, and to the earliest members of the team who stuck with it and became its leaders, including Susan Nolen Foushee, Jean-Hugues Monier, and Werner Rehm. Other leaders we are indebted to include Haripreet Batra, Alok Bothra, Josue Calderon, Marc de Jong, Dago Diedrich, Prateek Gakhar, Abhishek Goel, Anuj Gupta, Chetan Gupta, Peeyush Karnani, Tarun Khurana, David Kohn, Ankit Mittal, Chris Mulligan, Siddharth Periwal, Abhishek Saxena, and Zane Williams.

We’ve made extensive use of McKinsey Value Intelligence (MVI), led by Peter Stumpner and Vartika Gupta, which provided data and analyses in this book.

Dick Foster, a former McKinsey colleague and mentor, inspired the development of McKinsey Value Intelligence.

Michael Cichello, professor of finance at the Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, expertly prepared the teaching materials that accompany this book, including the syllabus, end-of-chapter problems and answers for the university edition, and exam questions and answers. These teaching materials are an essential supplement for professors and students using this book for finance courses. Thank you to our Capabilities and Insights team for their help in preparing and answering questions for these materials.

Of course, we could not have devoted the time and energy to this book without the support and encouragement of McKinsey’s Strategy & Corporate Finance Practice leadership, particularly Michael Birshan and Andy West. Also, Raju Narisetti and Lucia Rahilly ensured that we received superior editorial support from McKinsey’s external publishing team. Thanks also to Sneha Vats, Ramya DRozario, and their team, who facilitated the approvals process for mentions of specific company names.
