Values Based Management

	          		The above definitions of value based management may lead our managers on the wrong path. It suggests and encourages our managers to have an eye only on value addition in shareholders' net worth.

It distracts them from the social responsibility. As the basic aim of every corporate is to add value to society ultimately, a corporate cannot survive and it cannot become socially acceptable if it ignores its social responsibility.

And so, in my opinion, we should talk about Values Based Management, since this accommodates the concept of social responsibility also.

				                Value Based Management
The definition and application of value based management is clear cut. For further reading and understanding of the subject I would recommend the following text book: 'Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies'.

Measurement is based on discounted cash flow analysis emphasising the primary reason for a company's existence - its ability to generate positive cash flow over the long term.

Corporate responsibility should not be confused with this clearly defined and applied business management approach.
