Full textAbstract:
This thesis was conducted in the field of Environmental technology for the Sustainability & Technology Assessment group, at Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology. Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology is a research institute, striving to contribute to Singapore’s industrial capital through use-inspired research. The manufacturing industry contributes to a significant portion of the world´s total energy and resource consumption. This resource consumption could be reduced significantly through sustainable initiatives and technologies already available today. The reasons why companies choose not to invest in such technologies are often not due to technical factors, but rather due to financial factors. Financial barriers exist because investments are made on the basis of cost based value systems, which seldom justify investments in sustainable technology. When investments are made, the primary reason is to reduce costs while intangible benefits are ignored. However, this study shows that sustainability creates intangible value that current value systems cannot account for. Understanding the true value of sustainability would help decision makers realize that sustainable manufacturing is a viable business opportunity. This thesis studies the effect sustainable attributes has on a company’s ability to generate value. A value system is proposed, linking 40 sustainable attributes to value domains of intangible value. The value of sustainable attributes is quantified using the Sustainable Value approach. The study shows that social indicators, deemed by others to be unsuitable, can be used when proper adjustments to the Sustainable Value approach are made. A case study was performed on the Swedish manufacturing company Finess Hygiene AB to investigate the applicability of the model. The case study showed that the value system was applicable using data that already exists within the company, but the main challenge lies in collecting good and reliable benchmark data. Benchmark data is significantly easier to obtain in Sweden than Singapore for users wishing to apply the proposed value system. A follow up study should be performed to study the potential of a large scale adoption of the value system in Singapore.

Full textAbstract:
A firm�s relationships with its customers contribute to its organizational capital and represent an important part of its shareholder value, so the nature of the value in these relationships needs to be understood well and managed carefully. Marketing managers therefore require techniques that will assess relationship value comprehensively in order to manage their portfolio of customer relationships effectively and in order to argue for a sufficient share of the firm�s resources to develop these market based assets for competitive advantage. At present, there is a well-established technique for assessing customer profitability analysis which assigns revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities to customers and algebraically sums their value to reach a profitability figure for each customer.
However, even in its more sophisticated forms, the primary focus of customer profitability analysis as it is currently used tends to be the management of profitability by way of the management of existing situations, and particularly of cost, rather than the management of the value that is potentially available in the future from the intangible aspects of a relationship. Without knowledge of the dimensions of intangible value in the relationship, the technique is restricted to assessing those relationship aspects that can be easily quantified in dollar terms by the modification of existing accounting information.
This leaves a gap in the available toolbox for managers in assessing relationship value, because much of the value of a relationship may be in its intangible aspects, which at present can not be readily assessed other than by a manager�s experience and intuition. In order to develop techniques specifically for intangible value assessment, it is necessary to understand the dimensions of this intangible value. Development of scales to measure the dimensions of this intangible relationship value and development of an understanding of its structure is thus a useful research goal, which is supported by calls in the literature for the quantification of market-based assets and their value Elucidation of the dimensions and structure of intangible relationship value is therefore the goal of this thesis.
Although there are recent reports in the literature of studies that include the intangible aspects of relationship value, most of those that have been conducted in a business-to-business context appear to be primarily concerned with investigating the drivers of value rather than its dimensions, and those that deal with the business-to-consumer context describe techniques to assess the aggregated value of many consumers, rather than an individual buyer as is required for business-to-business applications. The thesis therefore proposes a conceptual framework, synthesised from the intellectual capital literature, which provides a set of six dimensions and a structure of intangible business-to-business buyer-seller value. The six proposed dimensions are unique in that they cover the human aspects of the relationship extensively.
The thesis describes the testing of the proposed conceptual framework. This was achieved primarily by the use of the structural equation modelling technique on survey data that was collected from managers in the New Zealand manufacturing industry, following qualitatively analysed interviews with managers. The tests support the framework and its value dimensions. The thesis therefore concludes that this research provides a contribution to the literature on value assessment and that future research should be conducted to validate its findings.

Fass, Sebastian. "The intangible value of business intelligence in the UK public sector." Thesis, University of Brighton, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.590059.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the intangible value of Business Intelligence. Business Intelligence (BI) projects are not exempt from the increasing pressure to justify IT investment using quantitative methods such as Return on Investment (ROI). Whether the full potential of BI investments can be explained solely in monetary terms is the core question of this research project. Other research projects have indicated that there is more than monetary advantage in BI. These non-monetary advantages play a major role, and organisations can gain significant competitive advantages by utilising BI effectively. The research approach used in this thesis consists of two research stages, and is of an exploratory and explanatory nature. The first part consists of qualitative content analysis of BI vendors' marketing material. The second part consists of three case studies in the UK public sector. The value of this project, i.e. its original contribution to knowledge, consists of rich insights into the topic and a conceptual framework which explains the foundations of effective Business Intelligence. Moreover, the thesis explores the gap between academia and practice regarding BI and business value of BI. It shows that BI is more than an IT solution and highlights the importance of the BI users. The work delivers rich insights into the intangible value ofBI. An intangible keyword list, which has been derived out of the BI vendors' marketing material, proved to be of significant value for the project itself and for the project's environment. The list can be seen as the invention of a new vocabulary for BI decision-makers, because it makes the terms "non-monetary advantages" and "intangible value" more comprehensible. Due to the high practical relevance of this piece of research, a conceptual framework for decision-makers is presented. This recommended framework shows in a simplified way how BI investments lead to monetary and non-monetary advantages and how these advantages are related to one another. The thesis also shows that BI investments eventually lead to tangible outcomes sooner or later. The framework helps to exploit existing and new BI solutions more optimally and reduces the uncertainties when deciding on BI investments.

Zepf, Jackson. "Inspiring Change in Intangible Asset Valuation and Identification." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1852.
Full textAbstract:
This paper will cover the reasons as to why the current accounting standards have not been updated as necessary to account for the newly developed, intangible assets or “pho-assets” that companies are either generating or using for future economic benefit. This paper will cover a brief background on the current accounting standards for intangible asset valuation and identification and why they are not sufficient for the current accounting environment. Within this review of the accounting standards, this paper will highlight how the changing financial world has given rise to these new intangible assets, and why current regulations do not allow firms to recognize all the assets that it truly should have on its books, thereby not allowing firms to realize or gain precious valuation. Furthermore, I will provide evidence as to why the accounting standards have made it difficult for investors to properly gauge the risk of intangible investments due to the inconsistencies in valuation that the current standards produce.

"An examination of the value relevance and bias in the accounting treatment of intangible assets in Australia and the US over the period 1994-2003 using the Feltham and Ohlson (1995) framework." University of Western Australia. Financial Studies Discipline Group, 2007. http://theses.library.uwa.edu.au/adt-WU2007.0145.
Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] The primary aim of this study was to examine, and compare, the value relevance and any bias associated with the reporting of intangible assets in Australia and the US over the ten-year period 1994 to 2003. The study adopts a disaggregated form of the Feltham and Ohlson (1995) valuation model and associated linear information models (LIMs) to allow goodwill and identifiable intangible assets to be separately examined using unbalanced panel regression analysis. The results for the Australian sample suggest that the adaptation of the Feltham and Ohlson (1995) valuation model used in this study is particularly useful in examining Australian equity securities. For example, the pooled sample analysis results in an adjusted R2 of 71%, which is consistent with similar US studies by Ahmed, Morton and Schaefer (2000) and Amir, Kirscenheiter and Willard (1997). Further, the results from the disaggregated Feltham and Ohlson (1995) valuation models suggest that the information presented with respect to intangible assets (both goodwill and identifiable intangible assets) under Australian GAAP is value relevant. However, the results from the valuation models also suggest that (for the average Australian company) the market believes goodwill is reported conservatively and identifiable intangible assets aggressively. ... As noted earlier, the increasing importance of intangible assets in the `new-economy’ suggests that (wherever possible having regard to the measurement difficulties) all intangible assets should be recognised in financial statements to maximise the value relevance of those statements. It should be noted, however, that there was some evidence to suggest that certain Australian companies (that is, those not consistently reporting positive abnormal operating earnings) might be reporting goodwill and/or identifiable intangible assets aggressively and this is an area that standard setters might need to carefully consider in future. I trust that the findings presented in this study will prove helpful to both researchers and those involved with formulating international accounting standards in this particularly difficult area of intangible assets. I also hope the results will help to allay any fears regulators (and others) might have that providing managers with accounting discretion will (necessarily) lead to biased reporting practices; based on the findings of this study for the majority of Australian and US companies, any such fears appear unwarranted.

Thesis, Linnéuniversitetet, Institutionen för ekonomistyrning och logistik (ELO), 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-105460.
Full textAbstract:
Background: The purpose of accounting and financial reporting is to provide useful information for its users in their decision-making. The importance of intangible assets for companies in the modern digital economy has led to debates concerning how it should be presented in accounting. As of today, the relevance and reliability of intangible assets can be questioned since large values of intangibles are left out of accounting and financial reports. Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate the association between reliability and value relevance of intangible assets. Method: Using the Feltham and Ohlson (1995) model, we test the association between intangible assets and market valuation of firms. We divide the sample into reliable and unreliable and test whether there is any difference in value relevance of intangible assets between the groups. Conclusion: The result indicates, without statistical significance, that reliability seems to matter more for goodwill than for total intangibles and other identifiable intangibles. Moreover, we suggest that investors seem to focus more on accounting standards and uncertainty than management discretion when assessing reliability of intangible assets. However, we are not satisfied with how reliability has been operationalized earlier and this study reinforces our doubts. Thus, among other suggestions we propose further research directed towards investors to find out whether reliability is important and what they consider as reliable.

Full textAbstract:
This research has investigated factors that affect the successful commercialization of intellectual capital. The concept of social constructs of meaning for the interview participants provides the fundamental perspective of this research. The research was undertaken on the basis of a constructivist ontology, the epistemology was interpretivist, and a qualitative methodology was used. A constructivist ontology was selected due to the research aim to understand the perceptions of the interview participants. The interpretivist approach provided the framework to interpret meaning of the perceptions in the appropriate business context. The data collection methods included unstructured interviews of people holding key decision making positions within their organizations. The conceptual nature of intellectual capital and commercialization enabled the research to be viewed from a phenomenological perspective and aspects of grounded theory were applied in seeking meaning from interviewee perceptions to surface a theoretical model. The data analysis included coding of the interview transcripts utilizing NVivo qualitative research software and sorting the data into nodes. The nodes represented categories of information which became the foundations of the constructs. These nodes were examined for relationship and meaning until a theoretical model emerged from the data. The findings culminated in six (6) main constructs which were subsequently aggregated to form a composite model of factors which influence the commercialization process.In addition a further discovery was made in terms of an `Intellectual Capital Approach' model which enables a classification and hierarchical relationship of intellectual capital to be mapped as a starting point for problem solving and strategy formulation. The results of this research have immediate application to business in terms of informing management about identification of intellectual capital and to consider alternative scenarios for wealth creation by way of commercialization.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the research area of omitted intangible assets from the balance sheet and consider rewards of their potential recognition in the statement of financial position. The theoretical part provides the reader with the current regulation in force and compares it to the regulation prior the standardization and convergence process. The empirical part focuses on valuation of equity of three companies from the pharmaceutical industry based on the model pursued by American professor Stephen Penman. The values obtained are subsequently compared to market prices which are believed to reflect also the possession of omitted intangible assets. Differences identified speak in favour of potential recognition, however these are believed to be marginal comparing to probable inherent risks, which include, inter alia, stock market run-ups and earnings management.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this master thesis is to provide a deeper understandingof managerial innovation impact on companies through Corporate SocialResponsibility (CSR). For this objective, IKEA Karlstad was chosen for theempirical part in order to apply the theoretical framework to practicalrelevance. The method used for this thesis was a case study design includingdata collection from literature in different databases: Emerald, BusinessSource Premier, Scopus as well as Google Scholar. Regarding data collection forthe case study, three qualitative questionnaires were also distributed to IKEA:two designed for the local IT and sustainability coordinator Magnus Engstrandand one targeting employees. A quantitative questionnaire was distributed toIKEA employees too. An interview was set up with Magnus Engstrand according tothe unstructured interview guidelines. The theoretical framework focuses notonly on understanding the links between managerial innovation and CSR,managerial and technological innovations but also on the companies’ motivationto implement these actions and their impact on employees, organizations andcommunity. From our analysis of the literature it can be stated that managerialinnovation is stimulated by an internal element of the company. Managerialinnovation helps partly or entirely to develop CSR actions resulting in thecreation of positive value: tangible or intangible; or negative value accordingto value resonance or value dissonance. The case study analysis broughtexamples of how managerial innovation brings value without involvement of anytechnological innovation contradicting certain theories exposed in thetheoretical framework. At IKEA, the three different types of managerialinnovations are management, administrative and organizational innovations whichare used to develop CSR actions and constitute a minor or major part of theirimplementation. The impact of managerial innovation on CSR is translated atIKEA Karlstad as an intangible value for the company and its stakeholders. Thisthesis contributes to a better comprehension of managerial innovation conceptsin general as well as its application in a CSR strategy through concreteexamples. It can also be used as a demonstration of how managerial innovationcan be used to improve the internal and external images as well as employees’welfare and perceptions. Further qualitative research is needed to measure themanner of managerial innovations as well as quantitative studies to generalizeits impact on a larger scale.

Full textAbstract:
The definition for a culture of innovation (COI) is the perception of a company that prioritizes the advancement of new ideas that create value across all operations. On the face of it that seems a precious attribute for any company to nurture and exploit, but measuring and valuing a culture of innovation has proven elusive for corporations. There is a tendency to break down innovation into R&D, patents granted, and new product development and while these are all significant components of innovation a cultural definition is more encompassing of the entirety of a company and the financial results should be reflected in the financial performance as a whole.
The research for this dissertation utilizes the CoreBrand Index® (CBI) quantitative research database and fields for the first time an inquiry about 160 large public companies among engaged but impartial observers about their perceptions of the culture of innovation. The findings are then correlated to the cash flow multiple (CFM), which is a firm-wide financial variable. Analysis evaluates whether COI is more or less predictive of the CFM than historical attributes in the CBI. This dissertation verifies past research by the author and extends the study into new and expedient pathways to measure, value and manage intangible assets.

Full textAbstract:
Organizations within the public- and the private sector have different aims with their accounting. Privately held organizations often have the intention to make profit, while authorities within the public sector aim to provide citizens with different services. The difference between these two sectors is also visible in the legislation, where International Accounting Standards Board set the standards for privately held organizations and Ekonomistyrningsverket do the same for the public sector. Because of the larger demand by the society for knowledge and technology, included in the category intangible assets, these are more emphasized in the accounting for organizations. Intangible assets are although linked with complexity which is associated with the measurement. The purpose of this study is therefore to see whether there are any existing differences in how to measure and value intangible assets and internally generated ones between listed companies in the private sector and authorities operating in the public sector. This study is conducted with both a qualitative and quantitative perspective. The data collected for this study is secondary, and is gathered through samples of annual reports from different companies in order to be representative for the whole population. The main results of this study is that there are differences in the measurement and valuation of intangible assets dependent on which sector an organization operates within and this is not due to the standards and regulations. The differences are visible in the percentage change in value of intangible assets since they fluctuate more heavily in the private sector than in the public sector. Simultaneously, the proportions of internally generated intangible assets compared to intangible assets in general differ between the two sectors.

Full textAbstract:
This study might interest academics, researchers, accounting regulators, practitioners and investors. Its main objective is to provide empirical evidence on how IFRS has affected earnings, intangible assets, financial reporting approach and the value relevance of intangible assets. This study hypothesises that the IFRS adoption would; increase earnings and intangible assets; have further shifted financial reporting approach towards a valuation approach; increase earnings volatility (reduce earnings persistence) and consequently increase the value relevance of intangible assets. The main methods of investigation are regression analysis. In accounting, reporting intangible assets remain controversial and challenging. IFRS to some degree would benefit U.K. investors if it increases reporting of intangible assets, particularly of different classes of intangible assets. However, existing research offers very little empirical evidence as most value relevance studies focus on earnings and book value of equity. This study reveals several key findings. First, earnings are significantly greater under IFRS but not at all different profit levels, which suggests that IFRS brings offsetting effects on earnings. However, IFRS produces mixed effects on earnings volatility and earnings persistence. Earnings are slightly more volatile but no significant impact on earnings persistence. Second, intangible assets are higher under IFRS and reporting of different classes of intangible assets is increasing. Third, this study documents broadly classified intangible assets are not value relevant which signifies the importance of specific classifications of intangible assets. Fourth, IFRS has minimal impact on the value relevance of intangible assets but intangible assets have significantly greater predictive value under IFRS. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing new findings on the impact of IFRS on accounting information in general and on intangible assets in sp ecific. This study differs from prior study by several aspects. First, financial companies were not excluded but were separately analysed. Second, it further investigates the impact of IFRS on the two primary qualities for relevant information (informative and predictive values). Third, this study contributes to the literature by providing new empirical evidence on the value relevance of intangible assets and different classes of intangible assets. In the future, researchers can investigate the impact of adopting IFRS on the reliability of accounting information as reliability is the other specific quality for producing decision-useful information.

Full textAbstract:
The existing literature proposes a broad spectrum of methodologies to measure firm's superior operating capabilities, referring to them under different names such as 'knowledge assets', 'intellectual capital', 'organisation capital', etc. Through the work reported in this thesis, I intend to contribute to the research field by exploring one specific measure of a firm's operating capabilities proposed by Lev, Radhakrishnan and Zhang (Abacus, 2009). These researchers empirically construct an organisation capital measure and argue it has predictive ability for future performance and is able to explain future abnormal stock returns in the USA. I extend their research to the UK. In doing so, I also critically discuss the organisation capital estimation process and propose potential improvements to the technique. I find evidence of its construct validity in the UK. I examine the organisation capital measure's predictive ability for future performance. The results suggest that this measure is positively associated with future sales growth in the UK. Additionally, the organisation capital measure seems to explain persistence of the operating income and sales of firms in the UK. Via value relevance tests, I obtain empirical evidence that the organisation capital measure is positively associated with equity market value in the UK. Moreover, it is positively associated with the earnings multiplier in value relevance tests. This finding is consistent with empirical evidence that the organisation capital measure is positively associated with one-year ahead earnings and positively affects earnings persistence in such an association in the UK. Finally, I fail to find evidence of the organisation capital measure's ability to explain future excess stock returns in the UK. This suggests that information on firm-specific operating capabilities captured by the organisation capital measure is recognised by the capital market participants and contemporaneously incorporated into stock prices. This result, however, contrasts with the Lev et al. (2009) findings in the USA that organisation capital is mispriced.

Thesis (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact possible revisions to the international
accounting standard (IAS) for intangible assets, under international financial reporting standards
(IFRS), could have on the perception of value of information technology. Furthermore, the study
discusses the fact that value of IT is still a debate and asks the question why. The use of the term
information technology capability in IT research is used in many different contexts. The study also
tested a framework that could possibly be used to view IT capability as, and used this framework to
ascertain how accounting treatment of IT capability is happening in practice.
The study is exploratory in nature since the impact of the possible revisions on IT capability is a
current event. The revisions are in a second round of discussion and as such this study could
provide insight to the discussion regarding the possible influence on IT capability. The revisions
primarily focus on the recognition and measurement of internally generated intangible assets. It is
currently being proposed that internally generated intangible assets be recognised as it would
during a business combination at any point and also that fair value be considered as an alternative
to the cost basis during initial recognition. While those are the most significant revisions, the
discussion paper makes minor proposals regarding the identification of intangible assets and
makes no suggestions regarding disclosure. A number of CIO’s and CFO’s or their direct delegates
were interviewed to determine from a practitioner perspective what the impact of the revisions
could be from both a financial perspective and IT management perspective. The participants were
engaged through a semi-structured interview and the collective responses analysed for common
themes. The study found that while the debate around IT value still exists, from the participant’s
perspective, it centres on the fact that in the absence of appropriate performance measurement of
businesses, it is difficult at best to reflect how IT contributes value to the organisation.
The participants do not see the currently proposed revisions as being able to improve the
perception of value of IT. This is primarily due to the fact that the financial reports are not for
consumption of internal business stakeholders to whom CIO’s need to communicate the value
contribution. Secondly, the cost focus of the financial reports is acknowledged and as well as the
fact that increasing the uncertainty of values in financial reports due to subjective valuation of IT
capability, will detract from the integrity of the financial accounting and reporting. Lastly,
participants also recognised that it would be a significant revision if internally generated assets are
recognised in the same way as during business combinations and that the use of fair value during
initial recognition is allowed. As such the participants felt that it would be a long time before the
revisions move onto the next stage.
This pragmatic response indicated that the focus should rather be on ensuring business
performance is measured and IT capability measured through business measures. The study is
limited by focusing on organisations that do not create IT capability for resale. Also, the focus is on
internally generated IT capability, and excludes the process of acquiring IT capability through
merger and acquisition activity. Lastly, the focus has been limited to the impact of the revision on
IT value perception. Practically, given the fact that the revisions are not seen to create an
opportunity for IT value to be reported, practitioners are advised to focus on using benchmarking to
report IT value for the business-as-usual IT capability, in business terms. Furthermore, in terms of
ensuring the value of investment in IT capability is articulated, the upfront business case and
investment decision process must articulate the business benefits clearly and thereafter ensure
benefits tracking is done to measure the performance and value of the constituent parts that deliver
the benefits can be measured. This study has value since these particular concepts have not been
analysed in this way before. Previous studies have focused on certain elements of IT capability, or
organisations that create IT capability for resale, not internal use, amongst others. The originality
stems from linking accounting treatment to the definition of IT capability and investigating the
impact it has on how the value of IT is perceived.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:
Die doel van hierdie studie was om vas te stel wat die impak van moontlike hersienings van die
internasionale boekhoudingstandaard (IAS) vir ontasbare bates, volgens internasionale finansiële
verslagdoeningstandaarde (IFRS), sal wees op die persepsie van inligtingstegnologie (IT) se
waarde. Voorts bespreek die studie die feit dat die waarde van IT steeds 'n voortgaande debat is
en vra waarom dit die geval is. Die term inligtingstegnologievermoë in IT-navorsing word in
verskillende kontekste gebruik. Die studie het ook 'n raamwerk getoets wat moontlik gebruik kan
word om IT-vermoë holisties te bekyk.
Die studie is verkennend van aard aangesien die impak van moontlike hersienings op IT-vermoë
'n gebeurtenis is wat tans plaasvind. Die hersienings is tans in die tweede ronde van bespreking
en die studie sou insig kon verskaf oor die moontlike invloed van die bespreking op IT-vermoë.
Die hersienings fokus primêr op die erkenning en meting van intern gegenereerde ontasbare
bates. Tans word voorgestel dat intern gegenereerde ontasbare bates erken moet word soos dit in
'n besigheidskombinasie op enige punt erken sou word, en ook dat billike waarde oorweeg moet
word as 'n alternatief tot die kostebasis gedurende aanvanklike of inisiële erkenning. Terwyl
hierdie die mees belangrike hersienings is, sluit die besprekingsdokument kleiner voorstelle in oor
die identifisering van ontasbare bates, maar verskaf geen voorstelle oor die bekendmaking van
ontasbare bates nie. 'n Aantal hoof inligtingsbeamptes en hoof finansiële beamptes of hulle
direkte gedelegeerdes, is ondervra om vas te stel, vanuit 'n praktisyn se oogpunt, wat die impak
van die hersienings sou kon wees – gesien uit beide 'n finansiële en 'n IT-bestuursperspektief. Die
deelnemers is betrek deur 'n semi-gestruktureerde onderhoud en die kollektiewe response is
geanaliseer vir gemeenskaplike temas. Die studie het bevind dat, hoewel die debat rondom ITvermoë
steeds bestaan, vanuit die deelnemers se perspektief, die debat sentreer rondom die feit
dat in die afwesigheid van toepaslike prestasiemeting van besighede, dit op sy beste moeilik is om
te besin oor hoe IT waarde bydra tot die organisasie.
Die deelnemers sien nie in dat die voorgestelde hersienings by magte sal wees om die persepsie
oor die waarde van IT te verbeter nie. Dit is primêr as gevolg van die feit dat die finansiële verslae
nie beskikbaar is vir interne besigheidsbelanghebbers nie aan wie hoof inligtingsbeamptes die
waardebydrae moet kommunikeer. Tweedens word die kostefokus van finansiële verslae erken,
asook die feit dat om die onsekerheid van waardes in finansiële verslae te verhoog weens die
subjektiewe waardasie van IT-vermoë, die integriteit van die finansiële boekhouding en
verslagdoening sal benadeel. Laastens het deelnemers ook erken dat dit 'n belangrike hersiening
sal wees indien intern gegeneerde bates op dieselfde manier erken word as gedurende
besigheidskombinasies en dat die gebruik van billike waarde gedurende aanvanklike erkenning
toegelaat word. As sodanig was die deelnemers van mening dat dit nog lang sal duur voordat die
hersienings na die volgende fase sal beweeg.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>As empresas definem suas estratégias de marca visando
maximizar lucros,
aumentar competitividade e, conseqüentemente, seu valor de
mercado, que é
composto por ativos tangíveis e intangíveis. É fato que, o
poder competitivo de
uma empresa reside cada vez menos nos ativos tangíveis -
como estoques,
edifícios, equipamentos e máquinas - se concentrando mais
em esforços para
geração de valor através de ativos intangíveis. Estudos
contemporâneos apontam
evidências de que os ativos intangíveis têm sido
responsáveis pela geração de
valor adicional para empresas, sendo a marca o ativo que
tem o maior destaque .
Apesar de inúmeras pesquisas em branding, é observável
que, empresas
interpretam de forma distinta quando a questão está na
melhor estratégia da
marca, daí emergindo diferentes formas de administração de
portfólios de marcas,
com denominações diversas, até entre empresas que atuam no
mesmo mercado.
Diante deste contexto, a presente pesquisa objetivou
analisar o impacto da adoção
de determinada estratégia de marca no valor intangível das
empresas, através do
modelo de regressão linear múltipla, proposto por Rao,
Agarwal e Dahlholf, que
utiliza o quociente de Tobin (q de Tobin) como variável
dependente para medir os
ativos intangíveis e um conjunto de variáveis
independentes que interferem no seu
valor. O estudo baseou-se em uma amostra de 83 empresas do
mercado brasileiro
que têm suas ações negociadas na Bolsa de Valores de São
Paulo (BOVESPA),
durante os anos de 2003, 2004 e 2005 e considerou a
taxonomia de estratégias de
marca adotada pelos citados autores, que inclui três
categorias: Corporativa, Casa
das Marcas e Mista. Os resultados obtidos indicam que o
modelo se mostrou
robusto, sinalizando que as estratégias de marca, assim
como as variáveis de
controle, têm impacto no valor intangível das empresas.
Entretanto, os coeficientes apresentados para cada uma das
variáveis independentes, bem como
para as estratégias de marca diferem daqueles obtidos no
estudo conduzido nos
EUA. A estratégia Casa das Marcas apresentou um
relacionamento positivo
rejeitando a hipótese de que esta estratégia estaria
relacionada a um coeficiente
negativo. Em oposição a isto, o valor do coeficiente da
estratégia Corporativa se
mostrou positivo em linha com a hipótese sugerida, mas em
amplitude inferior a
da Casa das Marcas. Este fato não foi observado na
pesquisa americana
evidenciando a diferença de avaliação entre os dois
mercados. O estudo indica,
entre outros aspectos, que os investidores e consumidores
avaliam de forma
distinta tanto as estratégias de marca como as variáveis
de controle utilizadas.<br>Companies define their branding strategy in order to
maximize profits,
increase competitiveness and, as a result, their market
value, which is, in its turn,
composed by the company´s both tangible and intangible
assets. The corporation s
competitive edge is less and less based on its tangible
assets - such as inventory,
facilities, equipments and machinery - focusing on efforts
to create value through
intangible assets. Recent studies display evidence that
intangible assets have been
responsible for creating additional value for a company,
the brand being the most
relevant asset. In spite of numerous researches in
branding, corporations have
their own interpretation of the best branding strategy,
hence the various ways to
manage brand portfolios, with various denominations, even
among companies
operating in the same market. Regarding those aspects,
this research aimed to
analyze the impact caused by the deployment of a certain
branding strategy in a
company s intangible value, through a multiple linear
regression model, developed
by Rao, Agarwal and Dahlholf, which uses Tobin´s quotient
(Tobin´s q) as a
dependent variable to measure the intangible assets and an
array of independent
variables that interfere in their value. The present study
was based on a sample of
83 companies operating in the Brazilian market and
negotiated in São Paulo´s
stock exchange (BOVESPA), between 2003 and 2005, and
considered the
branding strategy taxonomy used by the authors mentioned,
which include three
categories: Corporate, House of brands and Mixed. The
results point that the
model is robust, showing that branding strategies, and the
control variables, cause
impact in a company´s intangible value. However, the
coefficients shown for each
of the independent variables, and also for the branding
strategies, differ from those found in the research
developed in the USA. The House of Brands strategy
turned out with a positive connection, rejecting the
initial hypothesis that such
strategy would be connected to a negative coefficient. On
the other hand, the
value associated with the Corporate strategy´s coefficient
turned out positive,
resonating with the suggested hypothesis, though in an
inferior amplitude than
House of Brands´. That particular point was not part of
the North-American
research, showing how the evaluations of the two markets
differ from one another.
The study indicates, among other aspects, that investors
and consumers weight
differently both branding strategies and the control
variables used.

La mesure de la valeur immatérielle de l’entreprise est un sujet de grande préoccupation depuis des années. La présente thèse propose un modèle intégré de mesure de la valeur immatérielle des entreprises. Elle découle d’une alternance permanente entre de la modélisation empirique, des expérimentations en entreprises et des preuves académiques des mêmes concepts et résultats. Elle tente de répondre à cinq besoins qui étaient non couverts ou insuffisamment couverts dans le domaine de l’immatériel:1. Etablir la nécessité pour l’évaluation du capital immatériel d’une approche systémique.2. Définir une taxonomie d’actifs qui incorpore toutes les composantes de l’entreprise qui sont objectivement impliquées dans le processus de création de valeur et dont la durée de vie est supérieure à 12 mois; c’est-à-dire tous les éléments qui ont une valeur.3. Établir des règles claires qui permettent de comprendre l’articulation entre cette taxonomie et un bilan comptable d’entreprise.4. Montrer que les évaluations extra-financières de composantes immatérielles produites par le modèle propose sont corrélées de façon robuste à la performance économique des firmes, ce qui valide la pertinence de la taxonomie et du rating extra-financier proposes5. Proposer un ensemble d'outils cohérents pour calculer la valeur financière des actifs immatériels et par extension des entreprises qui prennent en compte leurs actifs physiques, financiers et immatériels. Montrer que les valorisations qui en découlent sont cohérentes par rapport aux approches classiques mais également qu’elles apportent aux praticiens de l’évaluation des outils précieux qui réduisent le risque d’erreur.Au final, le modèle proposé offre:1. une taxonomie d’actifs qui soit complémentaire à la norme IAS-IFRS et qui permette de produire un bilan étendu,2. une méthode d'évaluation extra-financière,3. une démarche structurée pour l’évaluation financière des actifs immatériels et par extension des entreprises<br>Measuring the intangible value of a company has been a subject of great concern for years. This thesis proposes an integrated model for measuring the intangible value of companies. It stems from a permanent alternation between empirical modeling, business experiments and academic evidence of the same concepts and results. It tries to meet five needs that were not covered or insufficiently covered in the field of intangible:1. Establish a systemic approach to the evaluation of intangible capital.2. Define an asset taxonomy that incorporates all the components of a firm that are objectively involved in the value creation process and whose lifetime is greater than 12 months; that is, all elements that have a value.3. Establish clear rules for understanding the relationship between this taxonomy and corporate accounting.4. Show that extra-financial assessments of intangible components produced by the proposed model are robustly correlated with firms' economic performance, validating the relevance of the taxonomy and the rating proposed5. Propose a coherent set of tools for calculating the financial value of intangible assets and, by extension, of companies that take into account their physical, financial and intangible assets. Show that the resulting valuations are consistent with conventional approaches, but also that they provide valuation practitioners with valuable tools that reduce the risk of error.In the end, the proposed model offers:1. an asset taxonomy that complements the IAS-IFRS standard and allows the production of an extensive balance sheet,2. an extra-financial evaluation method,3. a structured approach for the financial evaluation of intangible assets and by extension of enterprises

Full textAbstract:
En los últimos años hemos visto que, tanto en nuestro país como a nivel internacional, han salido a la luz escándalos empresariales que han provocado una creciente desconfianza de la ciudadanía hacia las empresas. Esta pérdida de confianza, junto a otros cambios producidos en el entorno empresarial, han llevado a las organizaciones a cambiar su manera de actuar, ya que han comprendido que no son un ente aislado, sino que forman parte de la sociedad y que su existencia a largo plazo depende de su legitimación ante ésta. Y para ello es imprescindible recuperar la confianza de los ciudadanos. Ante esta situación, la responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) se presenta como una vía para restablecer el equilibrio entre empresa y sociedad. Por tanto es imprescindible conocer cómo debe ser gestionada.
En este sentido, la presente tesis doctoral tiene como objeto de estudio analizar la gestión de la RSC de las organizaciones desde el enfoque de la disciplina de la comunicación corporativa. Para ello se ha realizado una investigación basada en el método del caso, concretamente el caso de la RSC de Unilever España. Las técnicas e instrumentos de recolección de datos han sido: revisión de documentos, 11 entrevistas a agentes clave en la gestión de la RSC y 7 observaciones.
Los resultados demuestran que la RSC de Unilever supone un planteamiento estratégico alineado con la visión, misión y valores de la compañía. Su gestión, aunque recae en el Departamento de Comunicación, implica a todos los departamentos, por lo que se gestiona de manera transversal en la organización. También se ha podido constatar que la gestión de la RSC de Unilever España se realiza siguiendo los principios básicos de transparencia, materialidad, verificabilidad, visión amplia, mejora continua y naturaleza social de la organización.<br>In the last years we have seen that, in our country and at international level as well, some corporate scandals has raised-up, which has created an up-growing lack of confidence from the citizenship towards corporations. This lack of confidence, in addition to other changes in the corporation environments, has led organizations to change their way to behalf, due to the fact that they have understood that they are not isolated entities, but that they belong to the society and their existence at long-term depends on the legitimation of the society. And for that it is essential to recover the trust of the citizenship. Against this challenge, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a way to re-establish the balance between enterprises and society. This is the reason why it is essential understand how it has to be managed.
In this sense, the present thesis has as object of study to analyse of the CSR management on the corporations from the point of view of the corporate communication discipline. In that way, an investigation has been carried out based on the case study, specifically in the CSR Unilever Spain case. Technics and instruments of data collection has been: documentary revision, eleven interviews with key agents on CSR management, and seven observations.
Results proof that CSR at Unilever implies a strategic mind-set perfectly aligned with the vision, the mission and the values of the company. Even though it´s management belong to the communication department, it involves all the departments, that´s way it is managed in an transversal way inside the corporation. As matter of fact it´s been demonstrated that CSR management at Unilever Spain is done following the basic principles of transparency, materiality, verifiability, wide vision, continuous improvement, and social nature of the organization.

The idea of writing my master thesis was born in Atlanta, where I spent nine months at Robinson College of Business as an exchange student in Global Markets. Throughout my second semester, I had the opportunity to develop my thesis in the marketing department with Dr. Kumar, a Regent professor at Georgia State University.
The idea behind the paper is to give the reader a definition of the Luxury Market. In particular, the focus will be on luxury brand.
One of the objectives of the thesis is to understand the intrinsic and intangible value that leads customers to purchase a luxury product rather than a value one.
In the introduction, the concept of luxury, the characteristics of the luxury markets, what is a brand and ultimately, what is a luxury brand will be defined. Furthermore, there will be an explanation about the differences in purchase behaviors among men and women in the clothing industry. The paper will then look at the differences in purchasing between developed and emerging markets act. Multiple factors will be analyzed. The Hofstede Model will be used to explain how a customer is enticed by a particular brand.
Finally, the last section of the thesis will provide a detailed elucidation centered on the ‘Made in Italy’ Luxury Goods, the role of Italy in the fashion industry, and the counterfeit phenomenon.

The study investigates the relationship between intellectual capital and share prices on the Nasdaq OMXS30 companies between 2001 and 2010. This, by using content analysis to score the companies' disclosure of intellectual capital and linear regression to test for a relationship with the corresponding share prices. We find a significant positive relationship between Price and Intellectual capital only for one of its subcategories: Internal Capital. The other two, Human Capital and External Capital, were both negatively correlated, explaining why we could not see a relationship between our total Intellectual capital score and price. Apart from this, we see that the average IC disclosure increased significantly during our researched time period and that IC disclosure in knowledge-intensive companies is statistically higher than for capital-intensive companies when it comes to External Capital and Human Capital. For Internal Capital, as well as for Total intellectual capital disclosure, we could not see any difference.

Full textAbstract:
The research in this thesis focuses on the intangible resources of organisations. Intangible resources include an organisation's collective knowledge and learning, leadership talent, the values that shape its culture, routines and processes and the collaborative relationships. These intangible resources are known as intellectual capital (IC) because they support organisational activity along with financial and physical capital. Previous research has classified IC into three principle components of human, organisational and relationship capital and has established a link between IC and organisational value. Recent studies have also emphasised the notion of interrelationships between the three components of intellectual capital in developing capabilities that drive value creation. Yet it is often unclear how the various elements interrelate to one another to generate organisational value. This thesis investigates how IC contributes to organisational value creation. Central to this research is the examination of the mechanisms through which IC factors are integrated within organisations in order to develop capabilities. As innovation is widely agreed to be a determinant of organisational value creation, this research adapted and extended the model of intelligence and innovation proposed by Glynn (1996) to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework for empirically examining the synergistic effects of IC. Building upon four major theoretical streams: resource-based view of the firm, innovation theory, intellectual capital theory and organisational capabilities, this research has elaborated the ideas and constructs presented in the original model and de-contextualised them to an intellectual capital perspective. A qualitative, interpretive approach was applied to two in-depth case studies for investigating the intangible resource-base of two knowledge intensive companies. The results were then expanded to a cross-case context in order to compare and contrast the value creating potential of the IC factors. The findings of this research are presented in the form of a descriptive framework that classifies the characteristics of a value creating process. The purpose of the framework is to provide pointers for identifying IC resources and developing capabilities in a way that provides an organisation with sustainable competitive advantage, and thereby, value.

ABSTRACT:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the value-relevance of the intangible assets for the stock price by identifying the impact of non-financial factors which condition the value-relevance of these assets. In this study the effects of the business sectors, country profiles, mandatory adoption of the IAS/IFRS and the global financial crisis are observed. Among the companies listed in the Euronext stock market the intangible assets – total and by category – have value relevance to the stock price. The magnitude to the value relevance of goodwill is greater than the magnitude of the identifiable intangible assets. The results show that the value relevance of intangible assets is affected by the accounting system, financial crisis and the characteristics of the business sector and the countries. The value relevance of goodwill decreased in the post adoption IAS/IFRS and post global financial crisis periods. The characteristics of the business sectors and countries affect the value relevance of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill in different ways and with different magnitudes.

Shahwan, Yousef Said. "The Australian market perception of goodwill and identifiable intangibles." Thesis, View thesis, 2002. http://handle.uws.edu.au:8081/1959.7/782.
Full textAbstract:
Accounting for goodwill and identifiable intangibles is one of the most controversial issues in financial reporting. It has been on the agenda of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, the US, UK, and the International Accounting Standards Boards, and the Full High Court of Australia. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has also placed accounting for intangibles in its Media Releases directed at specific companies. Evidence suggests that the materiality of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in corporate statements of financial position for a large number of companies is the reason for the considerable attention given to goodwill and identifiable intangibles. The present study has two objectives. First, it analyses the Australian market perception of goodwill and identifiable intangibles as assets in the determination of the market valuation of companies. Second, it investigates whether the market perceives goodwill and identifiable intangibles as wasting resources when valuing Australian firms. In order to achieve these objectives, the analysis initially develops and estimates a model (the asset-based model) that uses financial position statement items to explain the market value of companies' equity. This model examines the association between reported goodwill and identifiable intangible asset values and companies' market values. Given Ohlson's (1993) argument that companies' market value might be better explained by a model that includes a stock concept of value and a flow concept of earnings, a second model (the asset and income-based model) that incorporates an income variable into the initial model, is then developed and estimated. This model examines the association between the goodwill and identifiable intangible amortisation expense and companies' market values. Evidence suggests that there is a statistically significant negative association between equity market values and write-offs of goodwill, confirming the market perception of write-offs of goodwill as a wasting resource when valuing companies. Evidence also suggests that there is a statistically significant negative association between equity market values and write-offs of identifiable intangibles, at least for the total sample of the present study, providing limited evidence of the market perception of identifiable intangibles as wasting resources when valuing companies. However, the negative and inconsistently significant association between equity market values and write-offs of identifiable intangibles on an annual basis suggests that the relationship may be more complex than traditionally analysed

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: De immateriella tillgångarna är svårvärderade och diffusa tillgångar. Det har länge pågått en diskussion angående huruvida hantering av de immateriella tillgångarna påverkar värderelevansen och användbarheten av de finansiella rapporterna. Syftet med studien är att undersöka värderelevansen av de redovisade immateriella tillgångarna för kapitalmarknaden utifrån ett redovisningsperspektiv. Metod: Metoden grundas i Ohlson-modellen. Data från årsredovisningar har samlats in och sedan analyserats genom flera multipla regressioner och en korrelationsanalys. Resultat & Slutsats:Resultatet av studien visar att det finns ett positivt signifikant samband mellan de totala immateriella tillgångarna och aktiepriset. Resultatet av denna studie visar således att de redovisade totala immateriella tillgångarna ger värderelevant information till kapitalmarknaden. Dock visar sig endast posterna FoU och patent vara värderelevanta för kapitalmarknaden när värderelevansen av de immateriella tillgångarna uppdelat i specifika poster undersöks. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Ett fåtal tidigare studier undersöker tillförlitligheten av de redovisade immateriella tillgångarna. Då tillförlitlighet precis som värderelevans är en av de fundamentala egenskaper redovisningsinformation bör besitta är det intressant att även undersöka hur tillförlitlig kapitalmarknaden anser att de redovisade immateriella tillgångarna är. Då tidigare forskning hävdar att det är svårt att mäta de immateriella tillgångarna på ett tillförlitligt sätt vore det relevant att undersöka om detta stämmer. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien ger bevis för att de totala redovisade immateriella tillgångarna är värderelevanta. Det huvudsakliga praktiska bidraget med studien är att den kan ge intressenter en bättre förståelse för hur redovisningsinformation om de immateriella tillgångarna påverkar aktiepriset.

Neste trabalho procuramos reflectir sobre esta crescente importância dos activos intangíveis, nomeadamente do conhecimento, não só ao nível da competitividade e produtividade das empresas, mas também, e sobretudo, na óptica da sua valorização de mercado, demonstrando que, embora de difícil quantificação, a incorporação do conhecimento nas actividades produtivas
contribui, de facto, para a maior valorização das empresas, assumindo, por vezes, um peso relativo superior ao dos tradicionais activos materiais.<br>We´re living at the start point of a new economic era, marked by the changing of the value creation basis to a new productive resource and its related activities. Knowledge is getting, this way, a new strategic role and centrality in companies and national economy.
On this context, it’s essential that all economic actors understand this change and adapt themselves, through the development of new strategies based on innovation and knowledge incorporation, in order to be able to respond to these new global markets, which tend to be more competitive and more demanding.
This work pretends to be a reflection about this growing importance of intangible assets, namely knowledge, not only at the competitive and productive level but also from its market value point of view. We can demonstrate that, in spite of the difficulties in measuring it up, knowledge, in fact, contributes to the companies’ market valorization, assuming, sometimes, a relative weight even higher than traditional tangible assets.<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Full textAbstract:
Property rights are the backbone of Western Civilization. Capitalism can only be successful if individuals feel secure about the ownership of their assets. Patents are the property rights granted to the inventor by the government. Without these rights, inventors will find it extremely difficult monetizing their contributions to society. Thus, in an effort to incentivize innovation and commit society to human progress, our Founding Fathers built our country on a strong set of intellectual property rights.
At the same time, nothing impedes innovation like a monopoly and, in essence, all a patent amounts to is a monopoly, the right to exclude others from monetizing a specific innovation over an extended period of time. Hence, at the margin, patents increase the incentive to create new patentable knowledge, while simultaneously also stifling the dissemination of that knowledge. A good patent system strikes the right balance between innovation and a government-granted, anti-competitive monopoly.
After a 20-year period of an unprecedentedly pro-patent environment in the United States, the value of patents has never been higher. Patents, as opposed to their intended use of incentivizing innovation, are now seen as a form of protection against litigation, and also a weapon to litigate patent infringements to extract license fees and royalty payments from companies who are supposedly in violation of these patents. The pendulum has swung, and patents are now stifling innovation to an extent not conceived of by our Founding Fathers. This thesis will explore the reasons for the extreme increase in the value of patents over the years and will attempt to propose a plan of action to swing the pendulum back where our Founding Fathers originally intended it to be.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>O presente estudo, como investigação acadêmica de abordagem multidisciplinar, tem como objetivo geral contribuir para a identificação de possíveis caminhos que minimizem as discrepâncias verificadas entre os valores contábil e econômico das marcas. Neste contexto, em que o Brasil vivencia a transição para o International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), faz-se mister investigar a relação destas normas com a evidenciação da significância econômica desses bens, com o intuito de analisar as restrições normativas à contabilização das marcas, e identificar causas e impactos dessas discrepâncias. A pesquisa, de características essencialmente exploratória e qualitativa, aborda os conceitos teóricos de Ativos Intangíveis, Marcas, Brand Equity, Brand Value e Normativa Contábil, e utiliza a consulta bibliográfica e a entrevista presencial como formas de coleta de dados. No estudo, foram comparados os valores contábil e econômico das 31 marcas brasileiras listadas nos rankings de marcas mais valiosas divulgados em 2011 pelas três principais consultorias especializadas em avaliação de marcas; e entrevistadas 11 pessoas entre acadêmicos e profissionais das áreas Contábil, Econômica, Administrativa e Financeira, com o propósito primário de entender a essência da problemática da evidenciação contábil da marca. Como resultado, identificou-se que a questão basilar para a solução desse problema reside na confiabilidade da mensuração do valor monetário da marca, e que, como ainda não há consenso científico sobre a aplicabilidade dos métodos disponíveis na literatura aos diferentes propósitos de avaliação desse bem, é preciso que se desenvolvam novos e contínuos estudos a fim de identificar um padrão metodológico consistente, uniforme e objetivo que melhor se aplique aos interesses da Contabilidade como instrumento de gestão.<br>The main goal of this study, an academic research of a multidisciplinary approach, is to contribute to the identification of possible ways to diminish the discrepancies found between the book and the economic value of brands. In this context, in which Brazil is experiencing the transition into the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), is implied the need to investigate the relationship of these standards with the disclosure of the economic significance of these goods, in order to reflect on the normative constraints about the accounting of brands, and identify causes and impacts of these distortions. The research, essentially of exploratory and qualitative characteristics, addresses the theoretical concepts of Intangible Assets, Brands, Brand Equity, Brand Value and Accounting Regulations, and makes use of personal interviews and literature consultation as form of data gathering. In this study, a comparison was drawn between the book and the economic values of 31 Brazilian brands listed in the rankings of most valuable brands, published in 2011 by the three main consultancy agencies specializing in brand valuation, and 11 interviews were conducted with academics and professionals in Accounting, Economics, Finance and Administration, with the primary purpose of understanding the essence of the issue of brand accounting disclosure. As a result, it was identified that the primary issue for the solution of this problem lies in the reliability of measuring brand value, and that, as there is still no scientific consensus on the applicability of the methods available in the literature for different purposes of assessment of the asset, you must, it is necessary to develop new and ongoing studies to identify a consistent methodology pattern, equable and objective that best applies to the interests of accounting as a management tool.

Full textAbstract:
The present investigation is an approach to brand value from a top-management perspective, asserting that a brand is not merely a commercial value portrayed by a product placed in a market; even less so, a public relations rhetoric avowing a political correctness, but rather a full-length ascribed patrimonial asset that conveys an organization’s cultural response to the societal issues within its activity-bound. In such, considering the brand as an intangible in-management attribute that is portrayed across the entire chain of productivity whilst influencing current and future innovation processes, in return.
Operating under a new context paradigm, the brand becomes patrimony (overall value), beyond –and not excluding- (financial) equity. In all, a hypertext practical vision on the attributions of the brand to signify knowledge-based corporate culture responsibility, amidst identity acknowledgement, multi-stakeholders engagement and reputation’s risk management and anticipation.
Focus of this research, sets forth to upgrade the brand as a significant element of business management, and not just of marketing, and shares guided contribution to the key tasks and tools currently at stake in the development of well-grounded corporate communications.<br>La present investigació és un acostament al valor de la marca des de la perspectiva de la direcció general, afirmant que una marca no és un simple valor comercial; el d’un producte adreçat a un mercat -menys encara, una retòrica pública de correcció política- sinó més aviat un actiu patrimonial transversal que dona resposta, a través d’una identitat pròpia i d’una cultura d'organització -i per tant dins del seu àmbit d’actuació-, als debats i reptes de la societat local, però també global. En aquest sentit, considerant la marca com un intangible en la gestió, que es troba al llarg de tota la cadena de valor i productivitat i que té influència sobre els processos d'innovació actuals i de futur, que alhora en redundaran. Operant sota un nou paradigma de context, la marca es converteix en patrimoni (valor total), més enllà -i sense excloure- el brand equity1 (valor financer); ampliant les atribucions de la marca per significar-la sota una responsabilitat cultural corporativa (RCC)2 basada en el coneixement, en el reconeixement de la pròpia identitat corporativa, i involucrant i fent partícips a múltiples agents externs que permeten anticipar-se i gestionar els riscos que actuen sobre la reputació. L’aportació principal, fruit de la investigació, i basat en l’experiència empírica, situa a la marca com un element clau de la gestió empresarial, i no només del màrqueting, alhora que contribueix a donar pautes sobre les funcions practiques essencials que cal assolir des de la disciplina de la comunicació corporativa.<br>La presente investigación es una aproximación al valor de la marca desde la perspectiva de la dirección general, afirmando que una marca no es un simple valor comercial: el de un producto dirigido a un mercado; menos aún, el de una retórica pública, sino más bien, un activo patrimonial transversal que da respuesta, a través de una identidad propia y una cultura de organización (y por lo tanto dentro de un ámbito concreto de actuación), a los debates y retos pertinentes de la sociedad local, pero también global. En este sentido, considerando a la marca como un activo intangible en la gestión, que se encuentra a lo largo de toda la cadena de productividad y que tiene influencia sobre los procesos de innovación actuales y de futuro, que a su vez le redundarán. Operando bajo un nuevo paradigma de contexto, la marca se convierte en patrimonio (valor total), más allá -y sin exclusión del brand equity3 (valor financiero), ampliando las atribuciones de la marca para significarse bajo una responsabilidad cultural corporativa (RCC)4 basada en el conocimiento, en el reconocimiento de la propia identidad corporativa e involucrando y haciendo participes a múltiples agentes externos que permiten anticiparse y gestionar los riesgos que actúan sobre la reputación.
La aportación principal, fruto de la investigación y basado en la experiencia empírica, sitúa a la marca como un elemento clave de la gestión empresarial, y no sólo del marketing, al tiempo que contribuye a dar pautas sobre las funciones prácticas esenciales que cabe desarrollar desde la disciplina de la comunicación corporativa.

A discussão sobre as despesas de investigação e desenvolvimento quer na óptica contabilística, quer na ótica económica, tem gerado controvérsia. A classificação das despesas de I&D, como custo do exercício ou como ativo, tem sido apontado como uma das causas do desfasamento entre o valor contabilístico e o valor de mercado das empresas. O objetivo desta dissertação é a análise da relevância da informação contabilística contida nas demonstrações financeiras, especialmente da relativa ao investimento em I&D, para o preço de cotaçao das ações das empresas cotadas na bolsa Euronext Lisboa.

Os resultados obtidos indiciam uma relação positiva e estatisticamente significativa entre as rubricas cash-flow e lucro contabilístico com o valor das empresas. Em relação à variável investimento em I&D, a relação, embora positiva, não se apresenta estatisticamente significativa. ***/Abstract - The discussion about research and development expenses from either the accounting or the economic point of view has been generating controversy. The classification R&D expenses, as costs of the exercise or as assets, have been put forward as one of the causes of the disagreement between book value and market value of companies. The objective of this dissertation is to analyse of the relevance of the accounting information contained in the financial statement, especially relating to the investment in R&D, for the stock price of the companies listed at the stock exchange Euronext Lisboa. The empiric investigation analysed the impact of the variables cash-flow, profit and R&D expenses on the market price of companies listed at the stock exchange Euronext Lisboa, using a linear regression model based on a cross section of the 1997 to 2001 data. The results obtained show a positive and significant relationship between the variables cash-flow and profit with the value of the companies. While the variable investment in R&D the relationship, although positive, is not statistically significant.

Previous issue date: 2011<br>O presente estudo tem por objetivo demonstrar que a tutela jurídica dos direitos autorais não pode ser mais conferida em forma de direito de propriedade. A qualificação desta espécie de direitos intelectuais como direito de propriedade surgiu da necessidade histórica de dar outro nome aos antigos privilégios e persistiu graças à ambivalência da noção de propriedade. Entretanto, quase nenhuma regra específica da propriedade lhes é aplicável. Os direitos autorais não são suscetíveis de apropriação exclusiva, porque não possuem a característica da raridade. A escassez artificialmente conferida por lei tornou-se insustentável na Era Digital, especialmente em relação aos bens transmissíveis pela internet. Hodiernamente, os fonogramas prescindem de serem fixados em forma de átomos para serem reproduzidos e distribuídos, pois, em simples forma de bits, passaram a circular livremente, sem perda de qualidade e com um custo ínfimo. De fato, os direitos autorais e suas expressões patrimoniais devem ser tutelados como direitos não dominiais, pois, na prática, o direito de propriedade envolve abstenções impostas aos não-proprietários, que são incompatíveis com a abundância dos bens artísticos intelectuais. O paradigma emergente chama a atenção para o fato de que é o valor de uso das obras que deve recompensar a chama criativa dos autores, pois o valor de troca praticamente não existe mais.<br>Salvador

Bakgrund: Enligt Gauffin & Nilsson råder det ingen enhetlighet för hur immateriella tillgångar redovisas i samband med företagsförvärv. IFRS 3 infördes år 2005 och innebar stora förändringar för företagen avseende redovisningen av immateriella tillgångar vid företagsförvärv. Syfte: Då mycket tyder på att det inte råder någon enhetlighet i företags sätt att redovisa förvärvade immateriella tillgångar, avser denna studie att granska tänkbara bakomliggande faktorer till de skillnader som existerar. Studien vill finna eventuella skillnader mellan företagen och vidare utreda vad skillnaderna kan bero på. Med företag avses utvalda företag som nyligen gjort företagsförvärv. Metod: Studien baseras på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod bestående av intervjuer med företag som nyligen gjort företagsförvärv samt intervjuer med revisorer. Resultat: Studien har identifierat fyra tänkbara bakomliggande faktorer till att det inte råder en enhetlighet i redovisningen av immateriella tillgångar vid företagsförvärv: Definiering, Identifiering, Värdering och Vägledning.<br>Background: According to Gauffin & Nilsson, there is a lack of uniformity regarding the accounting of intangible assets. IFRS 3 was introduced in 2005 which brought changes for companies concerning accounting of intangible assets in acquisitions. Aim: Because of the lack of uniformity regarding the accounting of intangible assets, this study will examine possible reasons for the existing differences. The study will identify the differences between companies in order to further investigate the reasons behind these differences. Completion: The study is based on a qualitative method, through interviews with companies that recently have made acquisitions and audit firms. Result: The study has identified four possible underlying factors causing the differences between companies; Definition, Identification, Valuation and Guidance.

Uppsatsen undersöker hur väl resultat och bokförda värden förklarar marknadsvärde och avkastning för bolag noterade på Stockholmsbörsen under perioden 1999-2017. Vidare undersöker uppsatsen om värderelevansen av resultat och bokförda värden skiljer sig mellan hög- och lågteknologiska bolag samt om införandet av IFRS har påverkat värderelevansen. Justerad förklaringsgrad för tre regressionsmodeller används för att undersöka värderelevansens förändring över tid. Undersökningen visar att värderelevansen av resultat har minskat. Värderelevansen av bokförda värden av tillgångar och skulder, samt av resultat och bokfört värde av eget kapital kombinerat, har ökat. Alla tre modellerna visar, förutom i ett fall, på högre värderelevans för högteknologiska bolag än för lågteknologiska bolag. Vid en jämförelse av perioden innan införandet av IFRS och perioden efter har värderelevansen av resultat minskat, medan värderelevansen av bokförda värden, samt av resultat och bokfört värde av eget kapital kombinerat, ökat under samma tidsperiod.<br>This thesis examines the explanatory power of earnings and book values for market value and stock return for firms noted on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange during the period 1999-2017. Further, this thesis examines if the value-relevance of earnings and book values differs between high-tech and low-tech firms, and if the implementation of IFRS has affected the value-relevance. The coefficient of determination of three regression models is used to examine the change in value-relevance over time. The examination shows that the value-relevance of earnings has declined. The value-relevance of book values of assets and liabilities, and of earnings and book value of equity, have increased. All three models show, except in one case, higher value-relevance for high-tech firms than for low-tech firms. A comparison of the periods before and after the implementation of IFRS shows that the value-relevance of earnings has declined, while the value-relevance of book values, and of earnings and book values combined, have increased.

Previous issue date: 2012-02-08<br>Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa<br>Companies are focusing on intangible assets with the intention of gaining competitive advantage. However, there is not a systematic way to calculate them. Gu and Lev (2003; 2011) propose a model of measurement of intangible assets, where the company's economic performance is generated by physical, financial and intangible assets. Based on this proposal, we calculate the Intangible Capital (IC) and Intangibles-Driven-Earnings (IDE) for companies in the consumer services sector of the United States according to data availability in the period from 2001 to 2010. We also investigate intangibility indexes proposed by Lev (1999); Gu e Lev (2003) and their relationship with value creation to shareholders. So we intend to provide a response to the following survey problem: Which is the influence of intangible assets on the value creation of consumer services companies? Based on a panel data, results show that the Comprehensive Value (CV) has a positive and significant relationship with the market value of firms and that there Intangible Capital (IC) and Intangibles-Driven-Earnings (IDE) are positively related to Research and Development (RD) and Capital Expenditure (CAPEX), financial variables that are commonly used to measure intangibles. In addition, we found most of the indices of intangibility have positive and significant relationship with the total shareholder return, showing they can be good indicators of intangibility.<br>As empresas estão focando nos ativos intangíveis com a intenção de obter vantagem competitiva. Contudo, não há uma forma sistemática de calculá-los. Gu e Lev (2003; 2011) propõem um modelo de mensuração dos ativos intangíveis, onde o desempenho econômico da empresa é gerado por ativos físicos, financeiros e intangíveis. Baseado nessa proposta nós calculamos o Intangible Capital (IC) e o Intangibles-Driven-Earnings (IDE) para empresas do setor de serviços ao consumidor dos Estados Unidos de acordo com a disponibilidade de dados no período de 2001 a 2010. Também investigamos os índices de intangibilidade propostos por Lev (1999); Gu e Lev (2003) e sua relação com a criação de valor aos acionistas. Assim pretendemos responder ao seguinte problema de pesquisa: Qual a influência dos ativos intangíveis na criação de valor de empresas do setor de serviços ao consumidor? Baseado no modelo de dados em painel, os resultados mostram que o Comprehensive Value tem uma relação positiva e significante com o valor de mercado das empresas e que o Intangible Capital (IC) e o Intangibles-Driven-Earnings (IDE) são positivamente relacionados com as variáveis de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (RD) e dispêndio de capital (CAPEX), variáveis financeiras que são comumente utilizadas para medir os intangíveis. Além disso, verificamos a maioria dos índices de intangibilidade, possuem relação positiva e significante com o retorno total ao acionista, mostrando que podem ser bons indicadores de intangibilidade.

Previous issue date: 2012-02-08<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>The objective of this work is to implement and test constructs, proposed by Gu and Lev (2003, 2011) to measure intangible assets, in the consumer goods sector of public American companies. Using data gathered from DataStream/Thomson-Reuters, were investigated, through panel data analysis, potential linear relationships among constructs denoted by Intangible Driven Earnings (IDE) and Intangible Capital (IC) and financial statement variables that are commonly associated with intangibility, as for instance, Research and Development investments (R&D), Sales, General and Administrative expenses (SGA) and Capital Expenditures (CAPEX); it was also investigated if the Intangibles Driven Earnings (IDE) and the operational performance (EARN) represented by EBITDA can explain the creation of value measured by total shareholder return (TSR); the relation between the Comprehensive Value and the market value of the company; and, finally had been investigated relations between indexes of intangibility with the total shareholder return, representing the value creating of company for the period from 2003 to 2007. In particular, results from data between 2003 and 2007 suggest that (i) the constructs IDE and IC are positively related to variables associated with intangibility, (ii) variations of earnings have a positive relationship with shareholder return, (iii) the Comprehensive Value (CV), which tries to express the real value of a firm, is positively related to its market value and (iv) indexes of intangibility denoted by Intangible Capital Margin (ICM), Intangible Capital Operating (ICOM) and Market to Comprehensive Value (MtCV) have a positive and significant impact on shareholder return.<br>Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo testar a teoria proposta por Gu e Lev (2003, 2011) para mensuração dos ativos intangíveis para o setor de bens de consumo do mercado norte americano. Usando variáveis da base de dados da DataStream da Thomson Reuters, investigou-se através de análise de dados em painel a relação das variáveis associadas a intangibilidade, tais como pesquisa e desenvolvimento (RD), gastos com capital (CAPEX) e gastos administrativos, gerais e com vendas (SGA), no constructo IDE e no capital intangível (IC); foi investigado também se o constructo de intangibilidade (IDE) e o desempenho operacional (EARN) representado pelo EBITDA podem explicar a criação de valor medida pela variável retorno ao acionista (TSR); a relação entre o Comprehensive Value e o valor de mercado da empresa; e, por último foram investigadas relações entre os índices de intangibilidade com o retorno ao acionista, representando a criação de valor da empresa para o período de 2003 a 2007. Os resultados indicam que: (i) o constructo IDE e o capital intangível (IC) apresentam relações positivas com variáveis ligadas a intangibilidade, que (ii) IDE e ΔEARN possuem relação positiva com o retorno ao acionista, que (iii) o real valor da empresa o Comprehensive Value possui relação positiva com o valor de mercado da empresa, e que (iv) os índices de intangibilidade IDEM, ICOM E MtCV demonstram relação positiva e significativa com o retorno ao acionista.
