Industry Focus
Stern Stewart & Co has implemented its Economic value added methodology in over 860 companies globally in all industries; ranging from banking to resource companies and industrial concerns to services businesses in all geographies. The firm believes the technology is applicable to all businesses and the secret lies in customising the metric to suit the particular organisation's culture and strategic drivers. The firm has published numerous books on the subject.
Stern Stewart Capital Partners, however, focuses on five key industries namely (i) energy - specifically alternative, cleaner energy sources (ii) resource technologies - rather than investing in the mineral resources itself it prefers new methods of mining and upgrading those resources (iii) financial services - including insurance and banking for the developing markets (iv) logistics and warehousing - areas that promote free trade in underserviced areas and (v) consumer products such as non-alcoholic beverages.

Famous quotes containing the words industry and/or focus:
“My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.”
—Hannah More (1745–1833)
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
