Corporate value

Having a client can certainly introduce an element of accountability into what you do. It puts you on the line to deliver a result. It can also help to ensure that the project has corporate value. On the other heind, your own commitment to a personal venture that brings about a corporate benefit should also ensure that. An indirect way of creating a sense of accountability is to make your project public , for example by publishing your project plan with a clear explanation of what you are trjdng to achieve, and perhaps also committing yourself to meike a presentation or circulate a report about the outcome.

Without deciphering the links between intangibles and a firm s performance, companies are abrogating a significant opportunity for value creation. Using findings from our research, as well as industry literature and conversations with business and academic researchers, we developed a list of the most critical categories of nonfinancial performance that determine corporate value creation (Table 6.7).

Facilitators apply to the combined environment of the two potential partners. Therefore, unlike drivers, which are assessed by managers in each firm independently, facilitators should be assessed jointly. The discussion of corporate values, philosophies, and objectives often leads to an improved relationship even if no further steps toward building a partnership are taken. The more positive the facilitators, the better the chance of partnership success. 

Objective refers to the objective pursued (such as costs, net present value [NPV], corporate value [CV], or profit). If multiple objectives are considered, this is stated by [mu]. 

Although surveys are extremely important tools, not every individual manager can expect to receive a report, nor are their individual behaviors assessed via this method. This is where multisource or 360-degree feedback plays an important part in the OD and D I change process. Tools such as 360-degree feedback are the primary means by which organizations tie their corporate values and key competencies to individual behaviors of leaders and managers (Bracken, Timmreck, Church, 2001), usually via some type of formal leadership model or framework. 

Industrial Influence on Academic Research. A major concern raised by university-industry cooperation is that corporate values will divert academic research from its proper role, the search for knowledge. It does not appear that this is occurring. University and industrial participants are in the main agreeing on the research that warrants support. One view is that a major cultural change in universities came after World War II, when... 

Culture can be seen as a concept that describes the shared corporate values within an organization which influences the attitudes and behaviors of its members. Safety culture is a part of the overall culture of the organization and is seen as affecting the attitudes and beliefs of members in terms of health and safety performance. 

Above and beyond organizational and procedural factors, corporate culture is further formed by the attitude of everyone within the organization. When executives, managers, and employees are all on the same page as far as basic corporate values are concerned, it becomes possible to have general agreement on the relationships that must be in place to accurately reflect the desired corporate culture. 

The third phase of the paradigm change involves the design of products and planning of production to ensure that sustainability principles will be adhered to throughout the value chain. The same has to be demanded of the suppliers as well as the fabricators or distributors who interface with the corporate value chain. The entire life cycle of products from cradle to cradle will then be re-examined not only in terms of profitability but also from environmental and social perspectives. ReaUstic end-of-life... 

Two tasks are required to conduct an NPV analysis. First, investment and revenues must be estimated. For a retrofit project, a total capital cost required becomes the investment. The total cost should include all possible major capital cost related items such as equipment, installation, infrastructure, downtime, and so on. The revenues are the net benefits expected in the future. Second, an appropriate rate of return must be identified. Most investments undertaken by companies are financed with retained earnings with profits from previous activities instead of borrowing. Thus, once a company approves and undertakes one investment, it cannot execute other investments at the expense of the approved investment, and the interest rate has to account for the internal corporate value of funds. As a result of these factors, interest rates of 10-20% are common for evaluating the NPV of projects.
