Kierkegaard and Valuation in a Business Context

Abstract

G Jason Goddard

This paper discusses the recent problems in commercial real estate markets in light of the philosophy of Kierkegaard. The paper links issues in property valuation with the philosophical thought of S?ren Kierkegaard and offers a value based solution which utilizes individual perception rather than solely relying on crowd based determinants of value. This is the first link of Kierkegaard?s thought with business valuation methods and practices. The primary thrust of this paper is a discussion of the benefits of individual risk perception versus crowd thinking in valuation.
