Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between investments in intangibles and economic-financial performance. Based on the objective, it is classified as a descriptive, documentary and quantitative research. The sample consisted of 4480 companies from 35 G20 countries over a seven-year period. The DP2 synthetic indicator was used to evaluate companies through 25 economic-financial indicators and 3 intangibility indicators, represented, therefore, by a single intangible index and another economic-financial performance index for subsequent application of linear regression models. Three models were analyzed, namely: one testing the relationship between intangibles and economic-financial performance, another testing the same relationship by differentiating countries, and the third by differentiating by sector. The results point to a positive relationship between investments in intangibles and economic-financial performance and this relationship is maintained when analyzing the countries, although there are some changes for some countries. As for the sectors in which it operates, this relationship is maintained. It is therefore concluded that the relationship is positive and significant when it comes to investments in intangibles and economic-financial performance in G20 companies and that for the USA this relationship was negative, which can be explained by the composition of their companies. The most representative sectors are those that need innovation in products and services, standing out with new technologies. It is expected to contribute with managers so that they can assess the importance of investments in intangibles in different contexts and how these can contribute to improving the company's performance.
