Importance of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets like intellectual property, brand value, and human capital have become increasingly critical in evaluating company valuations and driving economic growth. These assets enhance operational efficiency and revenue growth, yet they can also complicate classical valuation metrics, leading to discrepancies between market and book value. Examples of intangible assets include proprietary algorithms, such as Google's PageRank, and brand equity from companies like Coca-Cola and Disney. Understanding and accurately measuring these intangibles is essential for investors seeking to grasp a company's true market value.
