Abstract
[fre] Aujourd'hui, le concept traditionnel d'investissement physique ne reflète plus que très imparfaitement l'effort global des entreprises qui consacrent une part croissante de leurs dépenses à des investissements intellectuels : recherche-développement, formation professionnelle, marketing, logiciel,... Ainsi, entre 1974 et 1984, la recherche-développement serait passée, d'après les estimations réalisées, de 8 % à 12,3 % de la Formation Brute de Capital Fixe, la formation de 2,5 % à 3,8 %, tandis que la publicité aurait progressé de 5,8 % à 7,8 % et les logiciels de 3,1 % à 10 %. Au total, l'investissement intellectuel atteindrait près de 40 % de l'investissement physique, et les deux types d'investissement seraient de plus en plus mêlés dans l'avenir, assurant la prédominance de systèmes complexes. [eng] Nowadays, the traditional notion of physical investment does not square any more with the global outlay of the firms which devote a growing part of their expenses to non-material investments : R and D, training, marketing, software... So, between 1974 and 1984, R and D, according to the estimates of the article, would have passed from 8 % to 12,3 % of the gross fixed capital formation, training from 2,5 % to 3,8 %, meanwhile advertising would have grown from 5,8 % to 7,8 % and software from 3,1 % to 10 %. On the whole, non-material investment would amount to almost 40 % of physical investment both of which would be increasingly mixed in the future, so that joint systems should prevail.
