Harriman House Publishing The Deals of Warren Buffett: Volume 1: The First $100m
Starting from scratch, it took the world's greatest investor, Warren Buffett, nearly five decades to make his first $100m. This book explains the reasoning behind each investing milestone on that journey, tracks the deals he made and shows how they added to his wealth.Without much of an idea about investing in shares at the beginning, Buffett had to develop his investment philosophy, and learn through success and failure how to select companies worth backing. It was not all plain sailing, with many mistakes along the way; and there were long periods of frustration with the market. The fact that Buffett made errors is quite reassuring for other investors. The key is to learn from them, and to accept with evenness of temper the many bumps in the road.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Value-based Management: Context and Application
Context and Application Value-Based Management Edited by Glen Arnold and Matt Davies Over the past ten years hundreds of leading companies worldwide have adopted the principles of value-based management (VBM), an approach to corporate strategy and business organisation in which the primary objective is always shareholder wealth maximisation. As VBM has become more widespread the idea of shareholder value has become integral to business. Consultancies have prospered by selling prescriptions for developing a value-oriented firm and managers thought to be excellent in generating shareholder value are held in high esteem and command huge salaries. This book draws on empirical evidence to demonstrate the success of VBM ideas as well as highlighting many of the hidden questions, doubts and difficulties. It examines the validity of some of the underlying assumptions of VBM and tackles many of the key technical issues. This book provides a timely assessment of the theory and practice of VBM as it grows to maturity.
