A buzzword on Wall Street, everyone is interested in increasing "shareholder value." Corporate executives, CEOs, board members, and managers all talk of ways to maximize shareholder value, while growing their businesses. In Corporate Financial Strategy and Decision Making, Harold Bierman discusses all the financial strategies managers should follow to increase shareholder value. He covers corporate financial planning, financial strategies, alternative sources of funds, and other financial angles for managers of all levels. This comprehensive guide also includes in-depth explanations of dividend policy-making, mergers & acquisitions, capital structure, and risk management.

Public corporations have many different types of investors, and each type has a different financial objective. On the other hand, in cases of private equity, stockholders are likely to have very similar financial objectives, making it much easier for the corporation's financial strategies to be consistent with those goals.
