The authors, valuation consultants, provide owners and managers of private companies and their prospective buyers with tools to determine what their company's value is, what drives that value, and how to enhance that value during an M&A and in daily operation, even when no stock price exists. They tell how to measure and manage value creation, and how to prepare for the sale and acquisition of a firm. Information is useful for business appraisers, CPAs, investment bankers, venture capitalists, and consultants, as well as for investors and managers of nonpublicly traded entities.
