Pierre Tabatoni, Intangibles as Economic Resource. Introductory Remarks
It is flattering and encouraging for an economist to be hear that economics can bring a contribution to juridical thinking and philosophy of law. By definition, intangibles are a resource, in economic activity, which is more and more relying upon research, human capacities for interaction, learning and teaching processes, research and development, organisation for innovation, management of information systems and communications, etc. They provide services which have to be developed and used within a proper practice of strategic management, able to use modern information technology and interactions within an overall strategy of development. Such strategies are becoming increasingly global, based on networking and intangibles, as resources, are fostering that trend. This is a challenge for the conception and the practice of law.

Key Words : intangible, economy, communication, globalization
