Traditional accounting systems focus on the evaluation on tangible assets, neglecting the value addition contributed to business performance by intangibles. This paper explores the intangible evaluation concept and suggests a stock and flow based analysis to assess a methodology that could highlight static and dynamic aspects and their mutual impact on business performance. A general sketch, clarifying the numerous cause-effect relations among intangible assets, is provided to support the management in decision making. The aim of this methodology coincides with the main target pursued by firms: to get a competitive advantage or to maintain the already acquired leadership.

Abstract
Traditional accounting systems focus on the evaluation on tangible assets, neglecting the value addition contributed to business performance by intangibles. This paper explores the intangible evaluation concept and suggests a stock and flow based analysis to assess a methodology that could highlight static and dynamic aspects and their mutual impact on business performance. A general sketch, clarifying the numerous cause-effect relations among intangible assets, is provided to support the management in decision making. The aim of this methodology coincides with the main target pursued by firms: to get a competitive advantage or to maintain the already acquired leadership.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
