Intellectual Capital (IC) - This is a phrase and a concept which was popularized in the 1990’s to explain the significant shift in our economy and businesses as knowledge became the key competitive advantage in the global market. The focus of IC is how intangibles are manifest in an organization. The field of intellectual capital has identified three main categories of intangibles, each of which has a different character. It is important to understand individual intangibles as well as how they work together as a whole:
* Human Capital - This includes all the talent, competencies and experience of your employees and managers. This is the intellectual capital that “goes home at night.”
* Relationship Capital - This includes all key external relationships that drive your business, with customers, suppliers, partners, outsourcing and financing partners, to name a few. This kind of capital also includes organizational brand and reputation. Due to the growing importance of networks in organizational structures, this is also sometimes called Network Capital.
* Structural Capital - This includes all knowledge that stays behind when your employees go home at the end of the day. There is significant structural capital in today’s organizations including recorded knowledge, processes, software and intellectual property.
-
On average, roughly 80% of the value of today’s corporation is intangible.
