Customer Reviews

Excellent on corporate strategy

I have worked with both Dr. Manganelli and Dr. Hagen in professional context and highly recommend both their work and this book to those interested in a more tangible understanding of how top corporate strategy are created, analyzed, and communicated - particularly at the "C-level" for the public company.

Strategy Done Right = Value

"Solving the Corporate Value Enigma" concisely outlines the importance of appropriate strategic planning in creating and capturing value in a corporation. I found the book easy to read and well organized, ultimately leading to a very practical and useful tool. Something that many business books fail to accomplish.The author's methodogy for implementation provided a "real world" game plan that I will be able put into practice. Save the $40,000 business school fee, buy this book!

From Theory To Practice

As both a practitioner and an educator, I found that "Solving the Corporate Value Enigma" provided the right mix of theory and practice. The authors have road-tested their tools with scores of corporate clients over twenty years and then validated/refined their hypotheses through hundreds of senior-level corporate interviews in a two year period. They provide a series of tools and a methodology (The "Turbo" Launch Program) that managers can use by themselves, or with help, to start with a minimal application of resources to see immediate results. A learning organization will embrace the findings from these low risk pilot projects and apply resources surgically throughout the organization to see a directly-attributable increase in shareholder value. They boldly address the concept of corporate risk head-on - and provide a structure for the conversations that need to occur to address it systematically.
