Project-Value Analysis Using EVA:
Warren Buffet is one of the largest investors in The Coca Cola Company. He uses EVA as one of the primary tools to value companies. The 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, the Project 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.
The Project should not be less than 1600 words, should be idea-driven, research based and include research citations and a brief executive summary.
