Kurzbeschreibung
Value Maps: Valuation Tools that Unlock Business Wealth shows valuation experts how to guide client companies through a rigorous self-assessment using the SPARC (Strategy, People, Architecture, Routines, Culture) Framework. SPARC reveals to analysts the causal relationships among a firm's external opportunities and threats and its internal strengths and weaknesses. The resulting road map offers a unique, step-by-step guide toward increasing the value of a business. This invaluable guide provides valuation analysts and business appraisers with a powerful new perspective on valuation and their businesses.
