The future will see all industries become technology-driven in the competitive global market place. Firms with deep technological roots and innovation strategies have some advantages. Business valuation of technology is critical to the future of firm's business. In this situation widely used scoring valuation is not enough to evaluate relative business competitiveness associated with technology and to assign its relative ranking category. Therefore, a more useful and comprehensive new valuation approach, which is called business composite index, is needed to complement and to enhance the existing scoring valuation approach. In this research, statistical factor analysis is applied to determine the common factors and to estimate associated weights. And business composite index, which is a kind of weighted scoring method, is derived based on the results of factor analysis. This research shows that business composite index is considered very useful to measure the business relative strength of individual technology and also to assign its relative ranking category instead of absolute ranking based on scoring valuation approach.

A company's market value-added, which equals the excess of a company's market capitalization over it s book value, is used as one of the measures for intangible assets valuation in accounting literature. One problem with the approach is that the valuation results are affected by severe fluctuations in capital markets. In this paper, we propose an approach using the Kalman filter for intangible assets valuation. We apply this method to data of Korean electronic companies.

Defense offset is considered to be all effective way of acquiring defense critical technologies and arms components as a counter-trade obligation ill defense acquisition contracts. Although arranging the offset contracts is wide]y perceived as necessary, there hardly exists an acceptable model of valuation of the offset technology. By undertaking the technology valuation approach and applying the option approach tn the offset program, we present an offset technology valuation model that maximizes social net benefit of the countries transferring the technology. This article applies our model to an actual case of defense technology transfer in the Republic of Korea. The contribution of this paper is in applying the option approach to the valuation of defense onset technology, providing for the additional flexibility to tile analysis. Our research suggests several policy implications that can be applied to the actual process of defense offsets. Our results elucidate managers' role and responsibilities in designing such a process by applying option approaches.

This study proposes a technology valuation model applicable for railway technology Increasing number of transactions and investments in technology has sparked a growing interest in technology valuation. However, it has not been easy to come up with an objective valuation of technology due to variance in technology value, purpose of valuation, and technology patterns. The main object of this paper lies in the study of the valuation model and the development of a new approach for railway technology valuation.

This study aims to present a conceptual model for technology valuation based on market approach. We first propose a transition model in which technology itself is endowed with its intrinsic value based on its technology- and market-specific features, which subsequently goes through a transition to the market perceived value. We also discuss the model's logical validity. Based upon the transition model, we develop market approach based technology valuation models by identifying factors comprising each component of the transition model for each case of fixed royalty and running royalty. We also show that the proposed model can be used to describe the relationship between cost, income and market approaches for technology valuation.

This paper analyzes the role of technology valuation in licensing, a commonly used type of transaction of technology, and reviews methods to analyze information on technology valuation for technology licensing. It contemplates the concepts, types and practical application of cost-based valuation, market-based valuation, discounted cash flow, and economic analysis. It shows that each method considers how to share profits associated with technology between licensor and licensee in a fair and reasonable manner when we apply any method to technology licensing.

In order to satisfy the high need for technology valuation, various technology valuation methods have been developed. However the need to develop a new technology valuation method considering the technology characteristics, technology valuation objective, and technology valuation environments has been increasing. So far the technology valuation mehtods have been developed based on technology valuation experts' domain knowledge without applying systematic design methodology. In this paper the process that applies Axiomatic Design principles as a design methodology to the technology valuation methodology design is described. The design consists of technology valuation process design and technology valuation content design. The Axiomatic Design approach introduced in this paper can be used as a systematic technology valuation design tool considering various technology characteristics and technology valuation objectives and also as an evaluation tool of traditional technology methods.

Data can be considered a core driver of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and databases are needed to create value by efficiently obtaining, storing and analyzing the data. However, there are currently no adequate valuation methods to handle databases. This study aims first, to understand databases as the subject of valuation and analyze value drivers of databases, and second, to propose a database valuation model based on this finding. To this end, we derive value drivers of databases from the characteristics and value criteria of databases observed in previous studies. Based on survey data from 396 database service firms we verify the value drivers through linear regression analysis. We find that the annual growth rate in database capacity and the data types positively affect sales of databases and offer ways to utilize them when estimating the cash flow, which is the variable to apply the discounted cash flow method-based income approach. This study contributes empirical insights into how to valuate databases considering their value drivers.

Increasing number of transactions and investments in technology has sparked a growing interest in technology valuation. However, it has not been easy to come up with an objective valuation of technology due to variance in technology value, purpose of valuation, and technology patterns. The central paradigm for making decisions about large technology investments is net present value. Unfortunately, it is badly flawed and systematically under values every investment opportunity. The main objective of this paper lies in the development of a new approach for technology valuation using the Real Option Valuation.
