The Corporate Life Cycle

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE CORPORATE LIFE CYCLE

“There is no better guide to the world of finance than Aswath Damodaran. In this wonderful contribution, he creates a readable, rigorous and provocative guide to investing across the life cycle — a great guide for readers of all ages. “
— Mihir Desai, Mizuho Financial Group Professor of Finance at Harvard Business School, author of The Wisdom of Finance

“Most investors and executives understand that a company’s capital allocation, cost of financing, corporate governance, and valuation are essential to making smart investments. But few fully appreciate how these drivers change through a company’s life cycle. In The Corporate Life Cycle, Aswath Damodaran provides a lucid and detailed guide to the opportunities and challenges at each stage. This book is essential reading for investors and executives who seek to create value.”
— Michael Mauboussin, Head of Consilient Research at Counterpoint Global, Morgan Stanley Investment Management.

“You can’t skip a single class taught by my favorite Professor, Aswath Damodaran – and when he has a new book, it’s required reading for all investors!”
— Meb Faber, co-founder and the Chief Investment Officer of Cambria Investment Management
