Increasing Shareholder Value

Corporations earn incomes and amass wealth. This title is concerned with how the corporation should reward its shareholders after the incomes are earned. Investment decisions, capital structure, and dividend policy must be co-ordinated so that the well being of the firm's stockholders is considered in the planning process. The corporate planners should realize that the individual investors are also making plans, and the corporation can assist this planning process by making its own financial plans and strategies well known.
