Summary of Invisible Advantage (Jonathan Low and Pam Kalafut)
1. The Rise of Business Intangibles

Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Intangibles – like brand equity, the ability to execute a chosen strategy, reputation and know-how – don’t show up on your firm’s financial statements and yet they are already transforming both the way you do business and the way investors value your company. Therefore, how you manage a business in the future should also change to reflect the increasing importance of intangibles. Or to be more specific, the means by which value will be created in the future has shifted dramatically from the tangibles to the intangibles as the key generators of future growth. Therefore, instead of treating intangibles as a by-product of whatever else you do, it makes good sense to start actively managing your intangibles to create future growth opportunities.
Why bother? Numerous studies have found that already, about one-third of your company’s current market value is attributable to intangibles which you probably don’t even presently measure, disclose or even attempt to manage. That proportion is likely to go up even more in the future as the Intangibles Economy
gathers momentum. Therefore, if you fail to take an active role in managing your business’s intangibles, you essentially abdicate control to the marketplace.
