Product Description
In the tranquil setting of a Colorado dude ranch, New York investment banker Wendy Stevens and her fellow guests learn from each other and the tantalizingly Socratic Sam McAllen what creates value for Shareowners...Over early morning coffee, on a cattle drive, and around high country campfires, they learn the three factors that cause stock prices to change, they learn who controls each of these factors, and they learn how both Managers and Shareowners "cause value to happen"... The week taught Wendy more about how value was created than her 16 years as an investment banker. In fact, she felt that if the ideas were used by a simple majority of companies, there would be a national surge in productivity rivaling the PC, Internet, and Quality Process combined. At the end of the week, Wendy drove away from the ranch refreshed and energized with new ideas to help her become a Richer Shareowner. But, she also left with new friends and a new perspective on the important things in life!

A basic shareholder money matters guide, 2002-12-12
Rich Shareowner, Poor Shareowner!: Common Sense For Investors And Managers! by Will Marshall is a basic shareholder money matters guide that presents its core principles in very easy-to-understand format of anecdotes and vignettes. Individual chapters cogently address the definition of shareowner value, determining the 'cost of capital', how acquisitions can actually erode shareholder value, and much, much more. An excellent introduction to the conflicting, varied, and sometimes financially perilous world of the share market, Rich Shareowner, Poor Shareowner! is very strongly recommended reading for anyone who is investing in today's volatile stock market.

Main Course, 2002-10-23
Business books usually present the same level of satisfaction to the reader as a serving of steamed broccoli - fulfilling and valuable though less enticing than the main course. But Marshall's book is different. Rich Shareowner, Poor Shareowner! presents important and valuable instruction on business valuation and investment as part of an enjoyable read. Marshall weaves his business issues around a gentle story filled with lively dialogue among interesting characters in charming settings. Lead by a sage cowboy, the reader is guided through complex concepts at a comfortable pace, fed in bite-size pieces. The result is an effective combination of instruction and entertainment that should be the goal of all educators and authors. This book teaches; it is the main course.

Rich Shareowner, Poor Shareowner, 2002-10-22
Will Marshall has found a way to teach even the non-financial public about shareowner value. It's a book everyone should read! He has taken a difficult topic and made it user friendly by building a story around the financial information. Will's common sense approach to creating value for the shareowner is something every company should apply.
