The objective of your
Final Project is to identify a company that might be worth much more if it were
broken into pieces and valued (using EVA) separately. The rationale for this
difference can perhaps be explained by the difficult investors have valuing
companies with multiple business units and/or accepting the insights of EVA
analysis.In addition to
identifying a candidate for a breakup your Final Project Report should include
an EVA analysis of the combined company as well as the individual elements you
recommend would be valued higher if they were separate. Also be sure to
describe strategic advantages that could be gained from a breakup that are not
rationalized only by EVA analysis. So the rationale for your company selection
should be based both strategic advantage and financial analysis.
