The value of these assets is often hidden or simply assumed to be there, for example, the minutes of Senior Management meetings are assumed to be valuable to the University, but not all of the areas of value they have are known or understood.
The process of defining value allows organisations to appreciate proper management of the assets, which includes timely destruction of those assets when their value reaches a point where it is no longer of benefit to retain them (or indeed, too risky).
Historical value can be found for almost any information object and is itself composed of different value dimensions, but this is often not a value that sits with the strategic aim of the organisation, and therefore not a relevant one.

 "Growth" Versus "Value" Investing
There has been an ongoing debate for many years as to whether higher stock market returns can be achieved by investing for "growth" or by investing for "value." Investing for "value" means purchasing stocks at relatively low prices, as indicated by low price-to-earnings, price-to-book, and price-to-sales ratios, and high dividend yields.
Common stock funds are now divided into nine groups, according to whether they invest in large capitalization, medium capitalization, or small capitalization companies, and whether their investment styles are predominantly "growth" oriented, "value" oriented, or a "blend" of the two.
On the basis of the foregoing data, it appears that "value" investors derived 11% to 24% of their rewards from dividends, and 76% to 89% from capital gains; "growth" investors, on the other hand, derived only 3% to 10% of their rewards from dividends, with 90% to 97% coming from capital appreciation.

The partnership seeks to achieve superior long-term performance by investing in public companies that are financially strong, well-managed, and run by capable management's selling in the market at prices below our assessment of their value.
