Intangibles: Management, Measurement, and Reporting

Baruch Lev

"

This book is the first comprehensive, scientifically based study of the nature and impact of intangibles. Weaving case studies and real-world examples with contemporary business theory, Baruch Lev - establishes an economic framework to analyze managerial and investment issues concerning intangibles; - surveys the impact of intangibles on corporate performance and market values, including management difficulties, risk, questions of property rights, marketability, and cost structure; - analyzes information deficiencies associated with intangibles, including the major economic principles governing intangible investments, limits of management information systems, and recommendations for improved accounting disclosure; - sets forth a comprehensive information system--aimed at satisfying the needs of both internal and external decision makers--to reflect the impact and value of intangibles within the context of enterprise performance.

Praise for this book

"Baruch Lev's books is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the management of intangible assets ('intangibles'), such as patents, know-how, and relationships.... Intangibles is a rewarding read for patent practitioners with an interest in patent policy, advocacy for increased patent resources, patent valuation, and patent management in relation to the innovation value chain." --Devin S. Morgan, "Patent Strategy & Management", 10/1/2003
