It envisages managers choosing the firm's financial policy and, for various reasons, being concerned with the market valuation of the firm. The valuation of the firm is determined by suppliers of finance, who are presumed to have a complete understanding of the incentives faced by managers as a result of the firm's financial policy. This means that a financial policy which leads to an efficient incentive contract (subject to the various constraints) will maximise market valuation, and will thus be chosen by managers.
