An Empirical Examination of the Effect of Shareholder Value on Firm Performance in Nigeria

ABSTRACT

The study recommends that firms hire managers with not only a great marketing strategy, but one that also has good knowledge of the stock market and its operations, this is the only way to ensure a win-win situation between shareholders and other stakeholders.
