“This work is an impressive mix of marketing and finance, and one of the most comprehensive reviews that I have seen on the topic of brand valuation”…
Aswath Damodaran, Professor of Finance and David Margolis Teaching Fellow at the Stern School of Business at New York University
The International Brand Valuation Manual by Gabriela Salinas is a detailed worldwide overview of valuation methodologies. She sees considerable growth but little consistency. She finds the “royalty Savings” method “the one that presents the fewest weaknesses relative to others, even though said weaknesses are not small nor minor.” She says that “one of the greatest sources of conflict” is in choosing discount rates. She concludes that the vast majority of valuation specialists views the choice of a discount rate as more of an art than a science, and therefore uses various mechanisms to reflect the brand–specific risk in the discount rate. The book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in brand valuation.
