One of the first structured approaches to assess the value of a company was the so-called Shareholder Value Analysis developed by Rappaport (1986). Heidentified value drivers in three different areas, namely Finance, Investment and Business. The theory says that improvement of these value drivers leads directly to an increase in shareholder value (Spencer and Francis 1998).

After that, different methods of company valuation will be explained and applied to adidas. The assignment will finish with a critical appraisal of the findings.
