Intangibles are, at a knowledge-based economy, the most important resources, driving companies towards systematic and sometimes unexpected returns. This paper follows a positivist approach and aims to investigate the association between the degree of intangibility, value of firms and their profitability.

These insights consolidate the evidences that immaterial resources act as drivers of future benefits and are embodied on firms' profitability ratios
