Buy it, read it on the plane and then start asking your top team some hard questions-before your shareholders do." -- Financial Times PRAISE FOR THE EVA CHALLENGE "The EVA Challenge provides helpful insights for both the beginner and the advanced EVA practitioner. Its real-life examples illustrate how the practical application of shareholder value orientation can align the goals of all organizational levels, motivate management by linking compensation to EVA performance, and bring additional value to shareholders." -- Dr. Karl-Hermann Baumann, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Siemens A.G.
