Valuation of Goodwill for an Engineering Firm
View through CrossRef
The concept of valuing personal and enterprise goodwill is a study in the art of quantifying subjective values. Sellers strive to maximize goodwill, while buyers strive to minimize goodwill. No persons are denying the existence of goodwill; rather, the debate is centered around the value of that goodwill. This paper seeks to define a holistic approach to fairly quantifying the value of goodwill for an engineering firm. The Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR), a decision tool grounded in game theory, is used to illustrate the inherent conflict around setting an accurate goodwill value and the inherent negotiation between buyers and sellers.
