Because of the specialized nature of the technology and processes used, Ford Motor Company executives found that economies of scope were limited.

In fact, assembly plants were closed for several weeks each summer to enable new models of cars or trucks to be built in existing plants.

Step 1: Define the purpose for the value assessment Step 2: Pick a point in the future when you expect your business strategy to deliver value Step 3: Analyze the business concept and strategy and forecast market size, your share, and revenues. Step 4: Analyze the capabilities and resources required to reach the future state and forecast the cost of building those capabilities and acquiring resources. Step 5: Based on this analysis, construct estimates of financial performance and market value that reflect the "most likely" assumptions.

•Step 6: Factor in the uncertainty in your assumptions by developing several scenarios that represent upper and lower bounds on key variables in your forecasts. Step 7: When appropriate, validate your model by using alternative approaches, such as Discounted Cash Flow and Comparable Company Analysis. Step 8: Discuss the value analysis scenarios you have constructed with others and critique the findings and assumptions—not just once—but on a regular basis.
