Aswath Damodaran to speak at limited-seat event in New York City on determining the difference between price and value of a business

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Renowned NYU Stern School of Business professor Dr. Aswath Damodaran joins Business Valuation Resources (BVR) to examine the differences between price and value, during "Price and Value: Discerning the Difference," a special, limited-seat, event on September 10, 2014 in New York City. This live workshop is preceded by a luncheon with Dr. Damodaran, and includes an exclusive 30-minute Q&A session.

"I believe there is a gap between price and value, and I also think the entire valuation profession is built on that assumption," says Dr. Damodaran in a recent interview with Business Valuation Update. "After all, if markets were efficient, we would not need the thousands of analysts and portfolio managers who are out there, right? I also assert that if you mistake your mission (pricing when you should be valuing, or vice versa), you can make some serious mistakes." To read the entire interview with Dr. Damodaran, visit: www.bvresources.com/Damodaraninterview.

Attendees of this exclusive event will walk away with an understanding of:

• The differences in objectives, strategies and methodologies in determining price versus value;
• The drivers of price and value;
• How the scope of work changes when determining price or value;
• How to improve estimations of intrinsic value and price; and
• How to manage the "gap" between price and value and its implications for their respective determinations.

Registration for the event is currently open. For those unable to join live, BVR provides the option to participate remotely through a webcast platform. For more information, please visit www.bvresources.com/priceandvalue or contact BVR at (503) 291-7963.
