|In this lecture, Mr. Gernot Strube together with Mr. Andy Koehler gave us a wonderful speech about how to create value through operation. |
|According to the lecturer, operations performance has major impact on corporate market value. As for Adidas, growth is more value creating |
|than margin expansion: there are 14% increase in value from 1% increase in growth while 11% increase in value from 1% increase in margin. But |
|for JCI, the main lever for value creation is margin expansion. Although difference exists, both two levers are related to the operation |
|performance and we can see that the value of the two firms besides the value from today’s operation, are affected mostly by two elements – |
|value upside from performance improvements and value upside from future growth. So we can draw the conclusion that operational levers are key |
|drivers of company value. In my opinion that is really true because most long-term investors focus on the basic operational performance of a |
|firm when they consider how much the company values and how much they will invest. |

    As we know from the case, the Superior is implementing the standard cost system which was introduced in early 2005---“Next year’s standard costs were last year’s actual per unit costs adjusted for anticipated cost changes”. By looking at Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 4, we could compare the level of all the costs under the items. The applicable way is to focus on “Variances” which indicate the degrees of changes of all the direct and indirect costs between 2004 & 2005. In addition, the mark of “+” indicates favorable and positive improvement and the mark of “-“indicates unfavorable and negative declines. Therefore, we could obviously observe the major changes in the company are mainly Rent (+259), Indirect Labor (+213) and Depreciation (+642), others factors remain comparatively small different from last years. We could thus conclude that these 3 factors are the main reasons that enabled Superior to improve profitability.…

    Warren Buffett (1992) classifies the discussion about value and growth stocks as fuzzy thinking. With that statement, he argues that value investors must consider growth in their value calculations. This thesis shows in a first step that growth is only valuable if the company enjoys a durable competitive advantage. By examining the fundamental characteristics of companies with a durable competitive advantage, this thesis intends in a second step to assess the predictability of long-term profitability. The DuPont Identity serves as framework for that purpose. The objects of this investigation are companies within the manufacturing industry (Primary SIC Code between 2000-3999) that were listed in the United States between 1979 and 2009. The results show that companies with a durable competitive advantage exhibit specific characteristics in operating efficiency, asset use efficiency, and in the ability to meet short-term obligations. Furthermore, the thesis shows that long-term profitability, based on the investigated characteristics, is predictable to some extent. This thesis concludes by assembling the insights to a value strategy that is applied to manufacturing companies listed in Switzerland. The strategy exhibits an outstanding SMI-adj. compound annual growth rate of 13.19% over a period of 17.5 years.…
