This book examines the different forms in which valuations may be called for and discusses the appropriateness of the methods to different situations. The strengths and weaknesses of the different methods are highlighted and the ways in which each approach has been received and criticized are considered. The intention throughout is to encourage a better understanding of valuation by bridging the gap between theory and practice.
