Negative Positive
Title: A commercial for Stern Stewart. Not much content.
Review: The book was more a commercial for the consulting firm of Stern Stewart than a book with real content for those looking to understand EVA. While some of the real-life examples were interesting, the book tended to drone on. The EVA "revolution" they spoke to seems less a revolution than a few managements doing the right thing and aligning employee and corporate goals. It's interesting that a couple of firms they cite adopting EVA have run into recent trouble with one, Harnischfeger, filing Chapter 11.
