Important People to Remember

CFA Level II
#1

Since I have seen couple of questions on just identifying the names of people who have made significant contribution in deriving the financial concepts and I am very poor in remembering the names, I thought it will be easier to list down all the names here just to keep track.

As far as I know here are some:

Harry M. Markowitz: Modern Portfolio Theory

Mr Porter: Five forces

I don’t remember the name of the guys who came up with the valuation analysis of equity and this is the question I missed.

Please list down all as you remember, but please make sure you list some details about the person. By the way, let’s not forget Mr Andrew Holmes for making our lives better.

Modigliani& Miller: Theories of Capital Structure

Is it possible to come up with full names of threse people and perhaps individual contribution as you know there is a very slim margin in the correct and incorrect answer choice?
