Global Market Trends

In the course of our work, we observe the evolution of competitive strategies amongst corporates in an increasingly globalised market.   With any business which appears to be attractive and globally accessible, it quickly attracts frenzied competition from established players and new entrants, all racing to dominate the field.  In some maturing industries there is no clear leader.  Instead, there are many players with little differentiation in services.

Fueled by fierce competition, corporates may have been solely focused on growth in market share, with insufficient regard for adequate returns on invested capital, if any, which should be re-invested into productive, high-yielding businesses.

Even where adequate returns are possible, corporates that in the past approved each and every project earning in excess of the cost of capital may have also failed to take into account the high opportunity cost of committing not just financial capital, but also talented human resources, to marginal projects.
 

Our Approach to Value Creation

Through research and development efforts, we have developed the Value Seek Analyser (“VSATM”),  a set of tools which quickly afford us an overview of a corporate’s value drivers and performance.  VSA benchmarks corporate performance and surfaces value creation opportunities.

Corporates with fundamentally sound attributes but temporary liquidity impairment may wonder where their corporate strategy has failed.  The corporate may have unwittingly indulged in value destruction.

We believe the way forward is to re-focus the corporate strategy on customers’ needs and value creation principles.  Here, the Exercise should entail the necessary steps (see Figure 1) :
