Growth and Value

Richard Brookes and Roger Palmer

Chapter Chapter 4 in The New Global Marketing Reality, 2004, pp 99-127 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses growth and the paradox that growth does not necessarily generate value or profit. For example, external growth by a policy of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) may be attractive in the short term in terms of boosting top line revenue. However, the reality is that managing the complexities and uncertainties of M&As when under the unremitting scrutiny of the stock market may detract from, rather than enhance, corporate performance.
