Difference between revisions of "Intellectual Capital"

Revision as of 10:18, 11 February 2018

Intellectual capital is different, but linked, to human capital. Intellectual capital (sometimes called IP) takes the form of ideas and designs produced by workforce members, based on the dialogue that takes place between primary stakeholders. Intellectual capital is increased if workforce members develop clearly articulated design ideas that can be shared within a social network (or with third parties) in an accessible and usable form. If they are not shared - or they are shared in a way that unreasonably restricts others' ability to access and use them effectively - then intellectual capital is depleted. When considering intellectual capital, think about the number, quality and availability of workers’ ideas and designs.
