      Gain the competitive edge by conducting a valuation of your company every year--quickly, accurately, and inexpensively Companies that know their value at any given moment have a distinct competitive edge--especially these days, when adding digital capabilities can dramatically affect value. But most businesses drop the ball because traditional valuation is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Not anymore. Reed Phillips, Chairman of Oaklins International, one of the world's largest mid-market M&A firms, lays out a straightforward method for gaining a clear understanding of your company's current value in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. He walks you through three easy steps: Identify the key value drivers behind the company's value and rate them to develop a Value Driver Score. Perform a careful examination of comparable businesses, including their market-rate multiples for revenue and EBITDA. Put the results together to determine the value of the business. QuickValue provides a clear, reliable way to determine your business's value in real time--transforming valuation from a reactive, defensive burden into an active, indispensable part of daily operations. Whether you're an entrepreneur, owner, executive, consultant, accountant, or M&A advisor, QuickValue provides the method you need to know the value of any company at any time.

      California video: artists and histories

      • 320 pages
      • 12 hours of reading

      Published to accompany a landmark exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from March 15 through June 18, 2008, California Video presents the first comprehensive survey of the history of video art in California. Since the late 1960s, California artists have been at the forefront of an international movement that has expanded video into the realm of fine art. Whether designing complex video installations, devising lush projections, experimenting with electronic psychedelia, creating conceptual and performance art, generating guerilla video, or producing works that promote feminism and other social issues, these artists have utilized video technology to express revolutionary ideas.  This illustrated volume focuses on fifty-eight artists, from early video pioneers such as John Baldessari, Bruce Nauman, and William Wegman, to Martha Rosler, Diana Thater, Bill Viola, and other established and emerging talents. Thirty-seven recent interviews shed new light on these artists—their influences, creative processes, and impact. Together with commissioned essays, rare reprints, and previously unpublished video transcripts, California Video chronicles a distinctly West Coast aesthetic located within the broader history of video art.
