Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a global competitive economic environment, resources that are scarce or irreplicable are a source of sustained competitive advantage for companies and organizations. Knowledge-based resources are a major and increasing driver of long term competitive advantage. Most accounting standards however do not allow for knowledge-based resource calculations, including the most important of these, intellectual capital. Intellectual capital is the collective knowledge, documented and otherwise, of individuals in an organization. In the absence of accounting standards to numerically evaluate intellectual capital, some institutions have devised their own reports and statements. But why should companies, universities, and research centers measure these resources? How are intellectual capital statements built? How does one set targets, and what indicators should they include? This book reviews the development of the field of intellectual capital reporting, including core concepts, latest developments, the main components of intellectual capital, how a statement is built, and key indicators of each component. It further analyzes experiences from a variety of pioneering companies and institutions around the globe in measuring intellectual capital, including case studies from educational and research institutions, and provides crucial transnational comparisons. Authors Ordóñez de Pablos and Edvinsson examine the challenges and next steps for the harmonization of intellectual capital reports, consider the creation of a special international agency for intellectual capital reporting standards, and evaluate the weaknesses of current standards and how they might be overcome.

This book was released on 2008-11-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now apparent to many scholars and practitioners that research and development activities and innovation are the pathways to sustainable economic growth. One also recognizes that delving into a topic as such is rather challenging as it is a multidimensional task. We have learned quite a bit on the innovation-growth relationship of the dev- oped countries based on the extensive research on the topic. However, we are yet to understand the very same process for the developing countries where the challenges are expected to be paramount. There obviously is few empirical and theoretical discussion on this topic. This book dares to provide a succinct discussion on a wide array of issues on the innovation and growth relationship for the developing countries. The book starts off by providing the reader with a promising - ternative to endogenous growth models that entails understanding the effect of variables, such as technological change on growth in cons- erable detail. The next step in the book involves a thorough analysis of economic growth models and how the investment climate affects innovationand entrepreneurship and hence economic growth. Against this background is examined the context of the telecommunications industry in Turkey. Following this, we delve into understanding the radical versusincremental innovationactivities,where itis argued that developing nations are more likely to engage in radical innovation, whereas developing nations are engaged in incremental innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “How does the management handle the important know-how capital? It is considerably more important to know what is invested in it in the form of education, research etc., than what is invested in office furniture. Nevertheless it is the latter that figures in the annual accounts.” —Karl-Erik Sveiby, The Invisible Balance Sheet[1] This was a critical juncture in the life of Intellectual Capital Management (ICM). Since the 1990s, the topic of intangibles has been the focus of attention for both academic researches and business practices. A significant amount of literature attempts to understand the nature of intangibles, to measure them, as well as to assess the value relevance of different intangible elements. Given the economic importance of intangibles, a number of intangible measurement frameworks or models have been developed, and different guidelines have been constructed. Nowadays, there is no doubt that if nations and organizations want to attain a competitive advantage, they have to deal with intellectual capital. They are in the balance sheets of national and organizational wealth and value, although not in the explicit terms and figures that accountants need for calculation. Almost 23years ago, Sveiby in his book, the invisible Balance Sheet, wrote: “Rarely is the question asked, why measure intangibles? The answer is not self-evident. Intangibles are difficult and expensive to measure and the results are so uncertain, so the reason had better be a good one.” [2] We know that the answers to this question probably already exist within our organizations, but we have yet to map the easiest and most accessible routes to them. However, a significant amount of empirical research can be found in the field of value relevance of intangibles, most of this has focused on the impacts of individual intellectual capital components on firm`s overall performance, and little is known regarding the internal composition and complementarities between intellectual capital management and other organisational capabilities. Nowadays, modern management practices are considered as a strategic means of competitive advantage. From the resource-based point of view, the value of resources does not only reside in the resources themselves but also in the way they are deployed. Therefore, capabilities can also be seen themselves as intangible resources. Therefore, apart from the lack of theoretical background and contextual information, general intellectual capital studies suffer from the availability of practical case studies about how to manage them. This issue is becoming even more prominent in case of universities; where it is coupled with the dichotomous of the definition of perceived/expected value of intellectual capital in higher education sectors. For many, the intellectual capital of universities assumed to be in its highest level of excellence, while new researches show that universities false to achieve expected innovativeness goals. This issue needs more attention from higher education policy makers since nowadays it is more expected that universities facilitate the spread and transfer of new knowledge and technology to the business world, while adopting more businesslike approaches and becoming more outward-looking. With this aim, some third generation universities have established or supported formation of science parks near their campuses as an structure for fostering knowledge and technology transfer and application of scarce research resources to increase the dynamism between the between the academic world and the business world. Generally it is expected that science parks contribute to the regional development by fostering the growth of knowledge-based firms, advocating relationships and networking among large companies and SMEs, and providing the linkage opportunities between firms and R&D institutions and universities. Many researchers and economists have linked output from science parks and business incubators to economic growth indicators, such as job and wealth creation in developed and developing countries. From this prospective, it seems that the definition of science park shares certain similarities with the concept of the business ecosystem where the focus is to build an extensive network of partners that can enable companies to innovate faster, at lower cost, while enhancing their tangible and intangible assets, and create new value through an increased number and variety of information, knowledge flows and services available to them. Considering the knowledge intensive nature of onsite SMEs, researchers have indicated that intellectual capital is likely to be the key sources of sustainable competitive advantage for SMEs. Therefore, science park capabilities in localising the knowledge spillover and providing networking opportunities become a critical source for development of intellectual capital stocks in onsite SMEs. Therefore, SMEs` benefits will be enhanced if intellectual capital management practices can be captured, learned, codified, applied, developed and transferred through co-evolution and co-opetition opportunities, and via the innovation platform of science park business ecosystem. Now, what if universities as an important role players in such business ecosystems fail to manage their intellectual capital stock, or do not continuously develop their intellectual capital management capabilities? On both universities and companies sides, many executives and managers don’t even know that intellectual capital management exists, or that it is the solution to many issues concerning improving organisational efficiency, effectiveness, and innovation. There are many intellectual capital management failures to point to; perhaps more failures than successes. Does intellectual capital management then have, or even need, a future? If so, what are the best practices in managing intellectual capital in both academic and business eras? This book is a response to the fact that on the whole, universities and SMEs have grappled with, but not yet mastered, intellectual capital management. The central motivation for assembling the contributions in this book on the intellectual capital management derives from the observation that very few universities and located knowledge intensive small and medium sized businesses on universities science parks appear to be inclined to explain what intellectual capital is or how it works socially, organizationally or economically. This book has pulled together number of leading researchers from a range of intellectual capital management studies disciplines in one convenient volume. The chapters in this book include the selected and most up-to-date ideas, concepts, practices and case studies on the subject of intellectual capital management, particularly in higher education, science and technology, submitted to the 5th International Conference on Intellectual Capital Management. The overall objective is to inform the higher education policy makers and entrepreneurial individuals about the importance of intellectual capital management and to provide practical but principled guidance for enhancing such capabilities. The mission is to condense emerging IC theory and to distill it into actionable form of immediate relevance and use by potential audiences. Jalil Khavand Kar September, 2013 [1] Sveiby, Karl-Erik.
