When thinking about investing, it’s an automatic first step to analyze the formulas of successful companies. This book contains the stories of eight effective CEOs. Their names may not be well-known, but the growth rates of their companies outperform the S&P 500 average several times over. This is a selection of case studies that show how to effectively manage a business. For example, it makes clear why capital allocation is one of the main decisions made by a CEO, and how it enables active growth and company value appreciation even with modest short-term and medium-term profit margins.
