English to Portuguese: The corporate response to the shareholder revolution
General field: Bus/Financial
Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English
Why do some firms
create extraordinary
value for shareholders,
while others destroy it?
A powerful suite of
value based management
tools can make
the difference.

COMPANIES THAT either diminish firm value or destroy it far outnumber Wall Street's wealth-creating superstars— and investors hate it. In response to growing pressures to put shareholder value creation at the top of the agenda, today's leaders are increasingly turning to a more robust set of tools for value based management.

The corporate world's most significant and effective response to the shareholder revolt, value based management (VBM) allows financial managers to plan, monitor, and control a firm's operations in ways that enhance shareholder value.This timely book—based on the authors' research and on an extensive study of firms that have successfully implemented VBM systems—provides the first objective, field-tested synthesis of the most popular models in use today: the free cash flow method, the economic value added/market value added (EVA/MVA) method, and the cash flow return on investment approach (CFROI). Pointing to the lessons learned by VBM adopters in a wide variety of industries, the authors outline the advantages and disadvantages of each model, and guide managers in selecting, implementing, and operating one that best fits their organization.

At its essence, value based management involves transforming behavior in a way that encourages employees to think and act like owners. Laying the foundation for building a capital-market-focused measurement and reward system that ties employee-level performance to owner-level rewards, this book will help today's leaders establish a continuous cycle of value creation that benefits all stakeholders of a company.

Porque algumas empresas geram valores extraordinários para seus acionistas enquanto outras o destroem? Um poderoso conjunto de ferramentas de gestão baseada em valor pode fazer a diferença.

Há muito mais empresas que diminuem ou destroem seu próprio valor do que as superstars criadoras de riquezas de Wall Street - e os investidores odeiam isto. Em resposta à crescente pressão para que a geração de valor ao acionista torne-se prioridade em suas agendas, os líderes empresariais atualmente procuram um conjunto de ferramentas cada vez mais robustas para a gestão baseada em valor.

A resposta mais significativa e eficiente do mundo financeiro a revolta dos acionistas, a gestão baseada em valor (VBM), permite aos gestores financeiros planejar, monitorar e controlar as operações de uma empresa de maneira que aumentem o valor para o acionista. Este livro atualizado - baseado nas pesquisas do autor e em um estudo extensivo de empresas que implementaram com sucesso os sistemas VBM - oferece a primeira síntese objetiva e testada dos modelos mais populares em utilização atualmente: o método do fluxo de caixa livre, o método do valor econômico adicionado/valor de mercado adicionado (EVA/MVA) e a abordagem do retorno sobre o investimento base caixa (CFROI). Fazendo referência às lições aprendidas por aqueles que adotaram o VBM em uma ampla variedade de setores, os autores delineiam as vantagens e desvantagem de cada modela e direciona os gestores na seleção, implementação e operação daquele que melhor se adapta à sua organização.

Em sua essência, a gestão baseada em valor envolve transformar o comportamento de modo que encoraje os empregados a pensar e agir como proprietários. Estabelecendo os fundamentos para a construção de um sistema de medidas e recompensas focado no mercado de capitais que atrele o desempenho no nível do empregado às recompensas no nível do proprietário, esse livro ajudará os líderes atuais a estabelecer um ciclo contínuo de criação de valor que beneficiem todos aqueles que mantém interesse direto ou indireto na empresa.
English to Portuguese: Residual Income and Free Cash Flows

Residual Income and Free Cash Flows

When it comes to shareholder value, many of us were raised on the notion that a stock`s value is equal to the present value of the future dividends (discounted dividends model). In appendix 5A, we show that given certain assumtions the present value of residual income and the present value of future dividends are one and the same.
We have also been taught that the value of an investment is equal to the present value of its free cash flows (the net present valu rule). Of even more relevance to our study, in chapter 4 we difined a firm`s value as the present value of the expected free cash flows. The idea that value is equal to present value of cash flows is without a doubt one of thecornerstones of finance. Thus, it is important to know how residual income relates to discouted free cash flows in determining firm value.
Translation - Portuguese
Lucro Residual e Fluxos de Caixa Livres
Quando o assunto é valor para o acionista muitos de nós fomos criados com a noção de que o valor de uma ação é igual ao valor presente dos dividendos futuros (modelo de dividendos descontados). No Apêndice 5A mostramos que, sob determinados pressupostos, o valor presente do lucro residual e o valor presente de dividendos futuros são um e o mesmo.
Também nos foi ensinado que o valor de um investimento é igual ao valor presente de seus fluxos de caixa (a regra do valor presente liquido). Ainda mais relevante ao nosso estudo, foi definido no Capitulo 4 que o valor de uma empresa é o valor presente dos fluxos de caixa livres esperados. A idéia de que o valor da empresa é igual ao valor presente dos fluxos de caixa é, sem duvida, uma das pedras fundamentais das finanças. Portanto, é importante saber como o lucro residual se relaciona aos fluxos de caixa livres descontados na determinação do valor de uma empresa.

Bio

Having lived in Los Angeles, California at
the age of six, I attended first grade at Santa Monica Montessori Elementary
School. I then moved on to study at Graded School, an American school in São
Paulo - Brazil, and went on to college to study Oceanography, Dentistry
and  Journalism.

Being fully bilingual
led me to the inexorable path of becoming an in-company English teacher, when I
also began working with translation. After twenty two years I have finally
reached the status of working as a full-time English – Portuguese conference
interpreter.
