Intangible Assets are earmarked as the value sourcefor today's knowledge-centric businesses. This bookhighlights a study that purports to make intangibleassets a visible entity to businesses. Incorporatedin the study are: 1) an Intangible Asset Taxonomy(IAT) that defines the objectives of KnowledgeManagement (KM) and the categories of value driversof intangible assets; and 2) the development of aFramework of Intangible Valuation Areas (FIVA) thatrepresents the relationship between strategic KMbusiness objectives and the value drivers ofintangible assets. Significant outcomes of thisstudy are: 1) validation that there is a dynamicrelationship between strategic objectives of KM andspecific value drivers of intangible assets; and, 2)empirical evidence that a one-size-fits all approachto intangible asset valuation may not be the bestapproach to this business problem.
