Maximizing long-term shareholder value and building competitive advantage are interconnected, not opposing goals. Sustainable long-term productivity drives both, debunking the myth that short-term results are prioritized over lasting company value.

Area of Science:

  • Business Strategy
  • Corporate Finance
  • Management Theory

Background:

  • A persistent debate exists between prioritizing shareholder value and pursuing competitive advantage.
  • Companies are often polarized into short-term performance focus versus long-term investment strategies.
  • Managers may mistakenly believe the market only values short-term results, neglecting long-term productivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reconcile the divergent views on shareholder value and competitive advantage.
  • To demonstrate that both concepts stem from a common economic framework.
  • To challenge the belief that improving competitive position requires abandoning the shareholder-value model.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of corporate management theories.
