The Game of Value Creation takes you inside the world of active investors, who acquire companies that offer substantial opportunities for value creation and turn them into success stories using a proven, calculated, and tactical approach, so that you too can benefit from the strategies that work for the big fish in your own business.
Karl Yaacoub, a former investment banker and private equity investor, reveals how to view a business as a series of interconnected parts while applying the same principles as world-leading institutions to help your organization achieve success.
Tell us about your book?
What is the PRIMARY benefit, above all
others, that your potential reader will gain from reading this book? (Be very
specific. Please do not answer with 'good read' or 'page turner' or some other
worn-out, overused phrase. Be concise and avoid generalization.)
The book demystifies the process of active value creation, a
method that the world's most valuable companies use to maximize shareholder
value. Besides discussing the key enablers of value creation, it outlines
tactics and action steps aimed at helping you maximize the value of a private
business.
If you had to compare this book to any
other book out there, which book would it be?
(Remember: The audience does not yet
know you. It is very important that you reference something they might be
familiar with to effectively and powerfully communicate what your work is
about. You are NOT saying you are 'better than' or 'just like' this
comparative, but are somewhat the same in a very general sense, to give the
listener a point of reference.)
This book can be compared to Principles
by Ray Dalio or 24 Assets by Daniel Priestley
Hundreds of thousands of books come out every
year. Why should someone buy THIS book? (What is it that sets THIS book apart
from ALL those other books in the same genre or category? What will the buyer
get from you and ONLY you that simply cannot be found elsewhere?)
The book combines
theory and practice to provide a 360-degree approach to value creation. It
really packs a punch of value. With tips
on growing and optimizing a business, raising and allocating capital
efficiently, and protecting key resources and structures, readers will find
hidden value applicable to any business in any environment. Based on real-world
experience, the perspectives presented here are relatable and presented in an
easy manner designed to assist any reader interested in achieving more success
in business.
Who is your target audience? (Be very
specific. Gender? Age range? Geographic area? Primary interests? What benefits
does the reader hope to gain from buying a book like this book?)
This is for every business owner who wants to have a greater
impact. Any person who has ambition or grand ideas can benefit from
it. Many people will find this book useful, from small business owners to
non-executive directors of multinational companies.
Did your environment or upbringing play
a major role in your writing and did you use it to your advantage?
Yes. The experience I gained in investment banking and
private equity enabled me to elaborate on methods by which value can be created
that are relevant to an outsider, so that they can also benefit from the same
methodologies and insights used by the most sophisticated institutions.
Tell us your most rewarding experience
since publishing your work?
It’s been the people who’d send me
pictures of it with excitement.
How would you describe your writing
style?
I combine technical analysis with narration in my writing style. My goal is to provide value, insights, and to genuinely help interested readers thought effective demonstration.
What do you hope to accomplish with your
book other than selling it?
Genuinely helping others on their
journey of corporate value creation.
