The attributes of information as an asset

The attributes of information as an asset, its measurement and role in enhancing organisational effectiveness

Funded by AHRB (now AHRC)

Project head: Professor Charles Oppenheim and a colleague from the Business School

Duration: January 2000 to December 2002

Description
The research builds on the work of the Hawley Committee (KPMG/IMPACT, 1994) which examined the identification, management and protection of information assets and on earlier research carried out in this Department. It also investigates the current approach of senior UK managers to assessing the value of information assets and their attributes. Such assessment takes place in an environment in which managers are increasingly aware of intangible and hidden sources of economic value but unsure of their reliability and in need of practical approaches for their effective management.
