HOW TO APPRAISE THE DATA ASSETS OF A COMPANY?

Companies are subjected to the difficult tasks of storing, protecting, manipulating, analyzing and classifying large amounts of data - functions mainly performed by the IT sector. But, in addition, the value of data as an intangible asset of a company requires more exploration to take advantage of its use in different sectors. Thus, estimating the value of data involves almost all the functional areas of a company and is context-dependent (Short and Todd, 2017). This paper aims to present some aspects of data valuation and possible issues that companies can face now and in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
