Creating shareholder value is key to business success and societal impact.
Finance is crucial for managing a business. Simply having a good product is not enough; businesses must create value for their shareholders by making a profit. Shareholders invest money and expect a return on that investment, either through regular dividends or a lump sum in the future. While businesses also need to consider the needs of staff, customers, suppliers, lenders, and the community, ultimately, success and profitability benefit everyone involved.
