In the wake of developments, competition has intensified, investment and financing avenues have expanded, corporates have grown in size and complexity, capital has become more mobile, institutional investors (who are in general, more demanding than individual investors) have become an important force, financial prices have become more volatile, and intangible assets have assumed greater significance. In response to these opportunities and challenges, shareholder value has become the central corporate agenda and corporates are becoming more focused on value creation. In this context, every manager would like to know: • What is the value of my company? • How can the value of the company be enhanced?

Critical Reading and Writing

The House That Bogle Built tells the story of John Bogle, the founding of The Vanguard Group in 1975, and his outlook on the future of investing. It highlights Bogle's revolutionary, iconoclastic nature and his goal of keeping costs low and the interests of investors his top priorities-which was in stark contrast to others in the mutual fund business who were greedy for higher sales profits and management fees. Bogle quickly developed a reputation as being the "conscience" of the industry and has since been revered for helping reform its practices.

Featuring never-before-published research and interviews with Bogle himself, The House That Bogle Built covers covers Bogle's views about Vanguard, his successor Jack Brennan, and the current crisis in the world of investing. Bogle firmly believes that investors, who own 70 percent of the shares of large public companies, have done far too little to ensure that large companies avoid financial recklessness.

Lewis Braham is a journalist whose work has appeared in a number of business publications, including BusinessWeek, SmartMoney, and Bloomberg Markets.
