EVA | IN PRACTICE
EVA helps companies understand what is driving their share price. It is the same across industries and the only management metric where more is always better.
No matter how good you are, no matter how good you think you are – you have inefficiency. You are making poor decisions today. You’ve got to minimize those and you’ve got to use metrics to do it. You are what you inspect, not what you expect.
