Research question and long-term goal

The main research question is: What is the current level of intellectual capital (IC) in organizations and how does it affect value creation? We execute a large-scale quantitative data collection and analysis in 8 countries to analyze this question. The research outcomes will help organizations to improve their capabilities in this context, as well identifies long-term development objectives for intellectual capital in company and policy levels.

The international partner network

The international partner network from 8 different countries represents a wide variety of know-how in studying and measuring intellectual capital. The international partners will participate in data collection, each in their own home countries. We also collaborate in designing the survey instrument, and in writing scientific and policy publications. In addition, research visits and on-site collaboration will be conducted with certain research partners.

Exploitation of the project results

The project will provide results for scientific community, but also for policy makers. The project results will be disseminated though several channels. The scientific results are communicated in conference presentations and journal articles.
