The University of Aberdeen is a public research university in Aberdeen, Scotland.

It is an ancient university founded in 1495 when William Elphinstone, Bishop of Aberdeen, petitioned Pope Alexander VI on behalf of James IV, King of Scots to establish King's College, making it Scotland's third-oldest university and the fifth-oldest in the English-speaking world.

The university as it is today was formed in 1860 by a merger between King's College and Marischal College, a second university founded in 1593 as a Protestant alternative to the former.

Today, Aberdeen is consistently ranked among the top 200 universities in the world and is one of two universities in the city, the other being the Robert Gordon University.

Asset management, broadly defined, refers to any system that monitors and maintains things of value to an entity or group.

It may apply to both tangible assets such as buildings and to intangible assets such as human capital, intellectual property, and goodwill and financial assets.

Asset management is a systematic process of deploying, operating, maintaining, upgrading, and disposing of assets cost-effectively.

To invest is to allocate money (or sometimes another resource, such as time) in the expectation of some benefit in the future.

Economic value is a measure of the benefit provided by a good or service to an economic agent.

It is generally measured relative to units of currency, and the interpretation is therefore "what is the maximum amount of money a specific actor is willing and able to pay for the good or service"?.

Globalization or globalisation (see spelling differences) is the action or procedure of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture.

Advances in transportation (such as the steam locomotive, steamship, jet engine, and container ships) and in telecommunications infrastructure (including the rise of the telegraph and its modern offspring, the Internet and mobile phones) have been major factors in globalization, generating further interdependence of economic and cultural activities.
