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.



Interview

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.
