Corporate inventory management with value maximization in view

Abstract

The basic financial purpose of the firm is maximization of its value. An inventory management should also contribute to the realization of this basic aim. Many current assets management models which we can find in the literature relating to financial management were constructed with the assumption of book profit maximization as the basic aim. These models could be lacking what relates to another aim, i.e., maximization of the enterprise value. This article presents the value based inventory management model modification.
