Maximizing Shareholder Value by Improving Growth and Reducing the Company's Discount Rate (PDF) Robert F. Marchesi, Chairman From a corporate finance and investment perspective, there is a wealth of literature showing that the growth and discount rates of a company are the two factors that management should focus on to maximize shareholder value.
