Written by two investment bankers, Investment Banking is centered on the primary valuation methodologies currently used on Wall Street, namely Comparable Companies Analysis, Precedent Transactions Analysis, Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, and Leveraged Buyout Analysis. These methodologies are used to determine valuation for public and private companies, most notably for mergers & acquisitions transactions, leveraged buyouts, and initial public offerings. They also form the cornerstone for valuing companies on a standalone basis, including an assessment of whether a given public company is overvalued or undervalued. Using a step-by-step "how to" approach for each methodology, Josh R. and Josh P. build a chronological knowledge base and define key terms, financial concepts, and processes throughout the book. The authors also provide context for the various valuation methodologies through a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of LBOs and an organized M&A sale process, including key participants, financing sources, strategies, and legal and marketing documentation.

In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis and the ensuing credit crunch, the world of finance is returning to the fundamentals of valuation and critical due diligence for acquisition and investment opportunities. This involves the use of more realistic assumptions governing approach to risk as well as a wide range of valuation drivers such as expected future company financial performance, discount rates, multiples, leverage, and terms. While valuation has always involved a great deal of "art" in addition to time-tested "science," the artistry is constantly evolving in accordance with market developments and conditions. In this sense, this book is particularly topical – in addition to detailing the technical fundamentals behind valuation, the authors infuse practical judgment skills and perspective to help guide the science..

Simply put, this book helps the reader understand the why of business valuation. Most business valuation texts deal with the how by focusing on an interesting amalgamation of seemingly unrelated financial concepts. These concepts appear as pieces of a puzzle. The reader implicitly knows that the pieces somehow relate to each other and should fit together; however, the puzzle seems impossible to put together, since there is no picture on the front of the box to guide you.

This book is the picture on the front of the box because once the why of business valuation is understood, the how becomes much more straightforward. Instead of dealing with disjointed pieces, the completed puzzle emerges.

Valuing Enterprise and Shareholder Cash Flows: The Integrated Theory of Business Valuation assembles these various valuation concepts into a theoretically and practically consistent whole. The reader views financial concepts not as unrelated, but as part of a complete and clear picture of business valuation..

Before entering the seemingly lucrative Chinese market, investors should be aware of the darkside of the current business environment. The risk of rampant corruption, economic, social and political problems, and threat to personal safety go along with the potential benefits of a thriving economy, rapid growth and swelling consumer demand. Dixon and Newman describe the Chinese business environment and its major players--the People's Liberation Army, the 'princelings'--and 'guanxi' (connections). In addition, they describe the plight of foreign business people who have recently found themselves in ugly personal situations because of China's lack of internationally accepted business practices and ethics, lack of institutionalized rule of law, and lack of an impartial law enforcement system. They conclude that any prospective business rewards must be discounted by the personal and personnel risks foreign businesses face when dealing with China..

Firm valuation is currently a very exciting topic. It is interesting for those economists engaged in either practice or theory, particularly for those in finance. The literature on firm valuation recommends logical, quantitative methods, which deal with establishing today's value of future free cash flows. In this respect firm valuation is identical with the calculation of the discounted cash flow, DCF. There are, however, different coexistent versions, which seem to compete against each other. Entity approach and equity approach are thus differentiated. Acronyms are often used, such as APV (adjusted present value) or WACC (weighted average cost of capital), whereby these two concepts are classified under entity approach.

Why are there several procedures and not just one? Do they all lead to the same result? If not, where do the economic differences lie? If so, for what purpose are different methods needed? And further: do the known procedures suffice? Or are there situations where none of the concepts developed up to now delivers the correct value of the firm? If so, how is the appropriate valuation formula to be found? These questions are not just interesting for theoreticians; even the practitioner who is confronted with the task of marketing his or her results has to deal with it. The authors systematically clarify the way in which these different variations of the DCF concept are related throughout the book

"Compared with the huge number of books on pragmatic approaches to discounted cash flow valuation, there are remarkably few that lay out the theoretical underpinnings of this technique. Kruschwitz and Löffler bring together the theory in this area in a consistent and rigorous way that should be useful for all serious students of the topic."

--Ian Cooper, London Business School

"This treatise on the market valuation of corporate cash flows offers the first reconciliation of conventional cost-of-capital valuation models from the corporate finance literature with state-pricing (or 'risk-neutral' pricing) models subsequently developed on the basis of multi-period no-arbitrage theories. Using an entertaining style, Kruschwitz and Löffler develop a precise and theoretically consistent definition of 'cost of capital', and provoke readers to drop vague or contradictory alternatives."

--Darrell Duffie, Stanford University

"Handling firm and personal income taxes properly in valuation involves complex considerations. This book offers a new, precise, clear and concise theoretical path that is pleasant to read. Now it is the practitioners task to translate this approach into real-world applications!"

--Wolfgang Wagner, PricewaterhouseCoopers

"It is an interesting book, which has some new results and it fills a gap in the literature between the usual undergraduate material and the very abstract PhD material in such books as that of Duffie (Dynamic Asset Pricing Theory). The style is very engaging, which is rare in books pitched at this level."

--Martin Lally, University of Wellington.
