    Forecasting Cash Flow: Mathematics of the Payout Ratio
    We all have used the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method. Many of us would agree that it is generally the best, most comprehensive, theoretically correct valuation model. It also has an empirical reason to be the best, which is that many of us calculate our discount rates using the Ibbotson data in the SBBI annual yearbooks, which are based on publicly traded stock data.

    Problems in the QMDM and Comparison to Economic Components Model...
    It seems to me that healthy dialogue among practitioners is a useful tool in facilitating our growth as a profession. It is in that spirit that I wish to respond to my colleague, Chris Mercer’s recent article,[Citation Omitted] wherein he asserts that my misunderstanding of his Quantitative Marketability Discount Model (QMDM) explains the disparity in my results and his in calculating the discount for lack of marketability (DLOM). Accordingly, in this article I will

    Drug Industry's Lost Branding and Corporate Reputation Management Opportunity
    No company likes to "leave money on the table." But that is what pharmaceutical companies are doing with their traditional approach to reputation marketing, branding and communications.

    A Framework And Process For Aligning The Organization To Enhance Reputation By Maximizing Perceived Competitive Value
    This paper describes a new and original framework and process to align the various "stakeholder relations" functions (e.g., marketing, branding, human resources, corporate communications, sales and others) so that the organization can manage reputation. The process allows companies to determine and make choices in ways they manage value creation and the risks and rewards associated with these decisions.

    A Brand & Reputation Framework To Determine The Best Strategy For Organizing Marketing & Communications
    Most of the knowledge about brands is derived from consumer products. From the author's own extensive experience in industry and knowledge of company decisions, it seems that brand strategies are not as well developed for making brand decisions that are relevant to diversified or industrial, business-to-business (B2B) companies.

  • Ten Questions Walmart Suppliers Must Answer to Maximize Profits
    Being a Walmart supplier can be tough. The stories of manufacturers who made bad deals with Walmart that resulted in disaster are legend. Walmart buyers are tough, they know their numbers, and they are skilled negotiators.

    Negotiating Manufacturer's Returns Privileges
    Negotiating returns privileges are often overlooked by many buyers and sellers. However, studies have shown that returns can cost a company between 9% and 15% of sales.

    Why Every Manufacturer Should Focus On Reverse Logistics
    When asked about their reverse logistics programs, many manufacturers reply that they don't have enough customer returns to justify spending any time on the subject.

    Reverse logistics is the part of the supply chain that is often outsourced to third party service providers (3PL's).
