    ‘Intangibles’ play a role in business but have no bearing on IS investment decisions! Companies base investment decisions on tangible benefits & ignore everything intangible as they can’t financially justify investing in intangibles, is this the case?

    People seem to be of the opinion that intangibles are present in every business environment and that they have a role to play in running an organisation efficiently. This may be the case but when it comes to making the important IS investment decisions I can’t see how they are taken into account. Is it not the case that when investment decisions are being made everything can be measured and decisions are made based on the tangible benefits with the intangibles totally disregarded? Is it not safe to assume that any intangibles can then be dealt with once investment is made in order to enable the organisation to maximise output and efficiency?
