This edited volume aims to discuss the most contemporary state of the determinants of the firm value. This book presents theoretical works as well as empirical studies that contrast the arguments offered by the leading, ground-breaking theories on the firm value. What variables determine the firm value? Are these determinants controllable or uncontrollable by the managers of the companies? Is the impact of corporate governance systems on the firm value symmetrical between different institutional contexts? Do the financial reports affect the value of the firm? What role does corporate social responsibility play as a determinant of the firm value? These and other questions are analyzed and scrutinized step by step throughout this book.

En Colombia, más del 80 % de las empresas son pymes familiares; por ello, son bienvenidos y necesarios todos los aportes de la academia para entender las interacciones de la familia y la empresa, pensadas y escritas para los interesados. Con estos casos, construidos a partir del acercamiento a más de cuatrocientos emprendedores a la universidad, se recogen sus inquietudes. El libro está escrito para identificar las debilidades y las fortalezas de las empresas familiares, e invita a imaginar formas de gestión y entendimiento entre fundadores y sucesores, para trabajar en su consolidación y traspaso generacional. Se pretende que los microempresarios ahonden en los ciclos de vida de las empresas de familia y el manejo del conflicto y la comunicación, con el ánimo de consolidar la continuidad de la familia y la empresa para las nuevas generaciones, y que puedan afirmar “sí se puede trabajar con la esposa” o es posible “diversificar en tiempos difíciles”. Este trabajo, que ponen en sus manos la Universidad de La Salle y la Universitaria Agustiniana, es un esfuerzo por acercar los avances de investigación a los interesados y rinde tributo a los empresarios familiares que contribuyen en la generación de empleo, riqueza y desarrollo.

This dissertation is an exploration into the fields of sustainable development, property investment and valuation. It investigates the rationale for immediately and rigorously integrating sustainability issues into property valuation theory and practice and proposes theoretical and practical options for valuers on how to address sustainability issues within valuation reports. It is argued that the perception of property as a commodity is changing to emphasize sustainable design features and performance characteristics as important determinants of a property�s worth and market value.
