Return on marketing investment has received attention for a long period of time. On the other hand, customers and the value that they bring to a company have enjoyed increased attention lately. Concepts like customer obsession, customer life time value, customer delight, customer equity and other topics have been researched by a number of scholars. Customer equity as a marketing concept is the latest in marketing research. The concepts purport that management of a company should be able to calculate the value added to the company by its current and future customers. Such value is then discounted using the appropriate discount rate i.e. weighted average cost of capital (WACC). This research focused on the possibility of using Customer Equity to calculate enterprise value. The purpose was to determine whether any variance between results of the two methods is statistically significant and whether or not a relationship between CE based enterprise value and discounted cash flow (DCF) based enterprise value exist. From the analysis conducted it was concluded that no statistically significant variance existed between Customer Equity based enterprise value and DCF enterprise value. It was also noted that a relationship exist between customer equity and an enterprise value calculated using the DCF model.

Background: During extreme market conditions like the period during fall 2008 the discussion of what affects company value becomes apparent. The capital structure is the relation between borrowed capital and equity in a company´s financing mix. What impact changes in capital structure have on company value is a widely debated subject within the theory of finance. If a relationship between capital structure and company value exists the implication is that an optimal capital structure where company value is maximized also exists. Aim: The aim of the thesis is to study whether a certain relationship between capital structure and company value exists among selected stocks and companies listed on Stockholmsbörsens OMXS30. Implementation: With aim to fulfill the purpose of the thesis regression analysis has been performed among chosen stocks and companies. The empirical results eventuating from this have been analyzed from the view of elected relevant theory. Completion and results: We find that during normal market conditions a positive relationship between debt ratio and enterprise value (EV) can be established. During more turbulent periods the results is more scattered. The results of this thesis is more evidence that the debt´s gear on equity is what mainly impacts price movements on the stock market and affects value, where high debt will pay off during favorable conditions and be costly during bad conditions, rather than a specific capital structure. A certain relationship between capital structure and company value cannot be established. The results of this thesis is also evidence pointing out the difficulties in measuring the relationship between two variables where one is the daily quoted market price of equity, which is greatly affected by market psychology et cetera, and the other, capital structure, is only to be measured during interim- and annual reports.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to estimate the value of Holcim (Česko), a.s. on the date 30th April 2012. The company is a supplier of building materials throughout the Czech Republic and is thus strongly dependent on construction. The value of the company is prepared for the purchase by a potential investor who has access only to publicly available sources of information. In addition to determining the value of the company, you can find in the thesis the market analysis (the analysis of macroeconomic environment and industry analysis) and financial analysis covering the determination of financial health. An essential part of the thesis is the theoretical basis of the valuation process. The valuation of the company was determined by using the method of DCF valuation - FCFF and then the value of equity was determined.

The thesis deals with the valuation of the Ferring-Léčiva, a.s.. The estimated value of the company refers to April 1, 2012. Financial analysis of the company, analysis of the macroeconomic environment and industry analysis are applied in the process of valuation. The methods which are applied for the company valuation are free cash flow to the firm and free cash flow to the equity. Both methods are applied with two-stage model.

This research discussed the influence between directors and supervisors and the separation of ownership and control toward enterprise value according to the convergence of interest hypothesis and the entrenchment of interest hypothesis. The result indicated that, from 2003 to 2008, directors and supervisors¡¦ shareholding ratio and chair ratio of Taiwanese listed information service corporations had a negative relation with enterprise value. The shareholding ratio of substantial shareholders had a positive relation with enterprise value ¡V the shareholding ratio of directors and supervisors had the convergence and the entrenchment of interest effect on enterprise value. The more cash-flow rights the control shareholders owned, the higher the enterprise value was. When we used specific percentage to discuss the nonlinear relation between equity transparency and enterprise value, we discovered that the nonlinear relation between Proxy Q and the separation of ownership and control did not exist. However, there existed a ¡§W-shaped¡¨ nonlinear relation when the dependent variable was ROA or ROE. It can explain that the implementation of corporate governance on enterprise value has a certain degree of influence. Nonetheless, whether the effect is good or bad depends on what role one plays in the enterprise.

ABSTRACT Globalization pushes more and more intensive competition and brings only minor profit to company globally. To keep key customers, to look for corporate expansion or growth up, and to earn more profit, company should keep improving cost stucture, key technology and strengthening the competition advantage by applying with both internal and external strategies. ¡§Leverage Buyout¡¨ and ¡§Management Buyout¡¨ are two typical operation models of Private Equity Fund and it is very popular and mature in the Western. Recently, the Asia emerging and booming market attracts the interest from Private Equity Fund. Moreover, because Taiwan enterprises have better system, more reasonable market price, and lower interest rate, they are aimed by Private Equity Fund as a gangway to China market. On the other hand, Taiwan domestic enterprises also look for investment from global Private Equity Fund to enhance corporate global competition. This study selects ¡§Yageo Management Buyout¡¨ triggered by Oriont Investment Co., Ltd. in 2011. With analysis of Yageo financial reports, I get Yageo corporation valuation and the reasonable share price at the moment of MBO announcement by Oriont using Porter (1980) Five Forces Analysis to summarize passive components industry key competition and key successful factors. After comparing with actual share price, it is apparent that Yageo share price is undervalued for a long time because Taiwan minor share holders pursuing short term return on the investment. In 2011, Yageo management team intended to privatize the company so that management team can concentrate on long term performance and competition improvement. With the successful improvement, Yageo is expected to re-public the share into the global market to have the reasonable share price showing its actual corporate value. The case study points out that Taiwan unique invest environment on minor share holders for any other global Private Equity Fund reference. Furthermore, the study concludes that, in addition to concerning on share holders¡¦ rights and Taiwan local market development, the government should take more aggressive policy to support domestic company leading to be a global one because globalization is a must and survival solution to an enterprise.

As a result of human resources for an enterprise¡¦s importance will get increasingly day by day, and human resources department¡¦s role will not to be a simply administration and assistant department. It will to be a strategic role and create some performances for an enterprise; therefore, how to estimate human resources department performance will to be an importance key point to evaluate enterprise competitive. Nearly years, Balance Scorecard (BSC) concept was used on scholarly researches popularly, but about human resources management scope are very fewer; generally the greater part of human resources management¡¦s researches were used by human resources management¡¦s activities; efficiency; talent as their research subjects, and they also were used research method: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to develop human resources department¡¦s indicator. In view of this, the research purpose will use balance scorecard and enterprise value theories as viewpoint for the research key framework, because about human resources scorecard¡¦s researches are very fewer and enterprises which have followed out human resources scorecard are also fewer; therefore, in lack of explicit quantitative information, the research will fit qualitative research¡¦s characteristic than quantitative research¡¦s characteristic. The research will also use bibliography to collect; confer; analyze; compare; generalize and add reality experience to ratiocinate as the research methods. Finally the research will construct two models, including human resources department performance measurement perspective model and human resources department scorecard guiding steps model. The research of human resources department performance measurement perspective model develops four performance measurement perspectives, including (1) financial capital perspective; (2) customer capital perspective; (3) structure capital perspective; (4) human capital perspective; the research of human resources department scorecard guiding steps model develops three phases and eleven steps, including (1) planning phase has four steps; (2) developing phase has three steps¡F(3) practicing phase has four steps.
