Abstract This research examined predictions drawn from value‐based planning models. Results indicate that profitability and growth do influence shareholder value in the manner predicted; however, the relationships are conditional. This study also shows that, the market‐to‐book value of equity ratio and Tobin's q‐ratio are theoretically and empirically, equivalent measures of value creation.
