Information Assets and their Value
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the results from a literature study on the value of information. I have reviewed the information, accounting and business literature to find economic attributes of information and information valuation attempts. There is at least some consensus on a number economic properties and identifying information as an asset to the organization. Also a number of valuation attempts have been made using classical economical measuring methods, some of them adapted to use the special properties information has. At the end of the paper I propose a conceptual framework in which information could be valued or at least researched.
