Klappentext How do firms like Hewlett-Packard, DuPont, Dow Chemical, IBM, and Texas Instruments routinely convert the ideas of their employees into profits that sustain the corporation?How can buyers and sellers calculate the assets of the acquired firm in a merger or acquisition?How can an organization affect the firm's stock price using the leverage of intellectual assets?Identifying a firm's assets, especially its intellectual assets-the proprietary knowledge expressed as a recipe, formula, trade secret, invention, program, or process-has become critical to a company's overall vision and strategic plan and essential in such transactions as stock offerings or mergers.
