During the late 1990s, doctrinal disputes over accounting for assets intensified as intellectual capital came to represent growing proportions of many major corporations’ perceived value. A study conducted on behalf of
Big Five accounting firm Arthur Andersen showed that between 1978 and 1999, book value fell from 95% to 71% of the stock market value of publ companies in the United States.2 Increasingly, investors were willing to pay
for things other than the traditional assets that GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) had grown up around, including buildings, machinery, inventories, receivables, and a limited range of capitalized expenditures.
