AICEX:  Interessante punto di vista per capire come bilanciare gli investimenti sul brand con quelli sui Clienti – 

The value of “brand” is declining. The value of “customer relationships” is increasing.

To find out which school of thought is more accurate, we looked at the value of brands and customer relationships as revealed by M&A data covering over 6,000 mergers and acquisitions worldwide between 2003 and 2013.

Upon acquiring a business, companies have to value the different assets they acquired for their accounts and balance sheet in accordance with accounting and reporting standards.
