Outline:
Financial analysts, investors, lawmakers, managers face crossroads when it comes to analyse innovation and IC, and take same into account in their thinking patterns and decision models : prudent conservatives remain defiant and reluctant towards non tangibles and stick to old methods which leave them aside of most of the new economy; others rely overconfidently to fragile and uncertain intuitions, up to the risk of becoming dependent of dangerously virtual and volatile concepts and assets.
The solution lies in more conceptualization, more formalization, and more solid innovation in the concepts and instruments used to create and manage IC and Innovation.
The objective of the lecture is to present some of the state-of-the-art concepts and instruments currently developed, tested and sometimes already used and shared by various actors to create IC and measure the value of same so as to make better decisions and to more efficiently steer innovating corporations and organisations through our shaken economies.
