Web Seminar Description:
Our business world is turning more and more into a IP-driven one. Not only a lot of new business models which are entirely data-driven or rely purely on intangibles are popping up but also old brick-and-mortar business models are increasingly affected by digital processes, asset-light activities and data. When analysing and valuing such business models it is necessary to apply appropriate tools and to draw the right conclusions.
In this web seminar new light is shed on how to approach this task in valuation practice and on how to turn the analytical findings into a valuation.
