Abstract

Historically,   Economic    Value  Added   (EVA)   was   a  financial    tool   reserved  for   large corporations and mature businesses. However, EVA can be particularly useful for small businesses and entrepreneurial endeavors. The value, computed from uncomplicated and available financial data, can direct the tactical and strategic  activities  of the firm  toward value producing projects, help regulate spending, and serve as an exit indicator for firms that may  never  become  successful.
