====== Value-based management ======
Value-based [[management]] (VBM) is a business management approach that focuses on creating long-term value for [[stakeholder]]s, including [[shareholder]]s, [[employee]]s, [[customer]]s, [[supplier]]s, and the wider community. VBM aims to align the interests of all stakeholders with the goal of maximizing value over the long term, rather than focusing solely on short-term profits.

The key principles of value-based management include:

Focus on creating long-term value: VBM prioritizes sustainable growth and profitability over short-term gains.

Align interests of stakeholders: VBM aims to create alignment between the interests of shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, and the wider community.

Measure and manage value: VBM uses a range of financial and non-financial metrics to measure and manage value creation.

Continuous improvement: VBM encourages a culture of continuous improvement, seeking to optimize all aspects of the business to maximize value.

Empowerment and accountability: VBM emphasizes the importance of empowering employees and holding them accountable for achieving value-creation goals.

VBM has gained widespread acceptance as a framework for business management, with many companies adopting VBM principles in their decision-making processes. By focusing on long-term value creation and stakeholder alignment, VBM can help companies build sustainable competitive advantages and deliver sustainable growth and profitability over the long term.
