“Given the increasing amount of intellectual capital at Fortune 500 firms, it is important to understand how to value these types of assets that are not capitalized in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles when determining the valuation of a company. Zanoni shows us how to value such assets and how these assets explain competitive differentials.” Kathleen Rupley (Portland State University, USA)
