In Data Driven Decisions: Systems Engineering to Understand Corporate Valuation and Intangible Assets, investment banker, systems engineer, and Cornell University lecturer Joshua Michael Jahani delivers an incisive and unique unveiling of how to use the tools of systems engineering to value your organisation, its intangible assets, and how to gauge or prepare its readiness for an overseas or cross-border expansion.

In the book, you’ll learn to implement a wide range of systems engineering tools, including context diagrams, decision matrices, Goal-Question-Metric analyses, and more. You’ll also discover the following:

• How to communicate corporate value measurements and their impact to owners, executives, and investors.
• Explorations of the relevant topics when considering an international expansion, including macroeconomics, joint ventures, market entry, corporate valuations, mergers and acquisitions, and company culture.
• A comprehensive framework and methodology for examining available global regions in your search for the perfect expansion target.
• A deep understanding of specific sectors in which intangible assets have a particular impact, including branded consumer products, ad-tech, and healthcare.

A must-have resource for business owners, managers, executives, directors, and other corporate leaders, Data-Driven Decisions will also prove invaluable to consultants and other professionals who serve companies considering expansion or growth into new regions.
