Key intangible assets as a variable of value of companies: identification, management and evaluation
Today, in the so-called knowledge era, the majority of companies’ value is not in the product in itself, or in physical capital, machinery or equity, but in intangible assets. The valuation of these intangible assets is a key factor in competitiveness and economic growth, on average representing one third of the total value of the manufactured products sold worldwide.
These assets are perceived as something “not real”, “not viable”, being something which is not physical. We must change this consideration, as they are a valuable asset that we must document and duly manage. This will largely lead to the gain or loss of key drivers of value for businesses today, but above all for our future.
