Intellectual capital (IC) has become the currency of the knowledge economy. People, processes and relationships—these are the resources that fuel innovation and create value in today’s economy. IC touches on almost every aspect of business and competitive strategy, including human resources, patents, operational processes, marketing, sales, and customer relationship management. IC concepts are applicable to business, non-profits, and regional development.

The formal study of IC dates back more than ten years, but it is still a developing field. There is much new knowledge to come from academics and business people alike. However, there is already a body of information that is very relevant to the challenges faced today by businesses around the globe.

The goal of the IC Knowledge Center is to provide real-world, practical information that can be used by businesspeople who are engaged in the challenging battle for competitive advantage in today’s economy.

We will be adding to the Knowledge Center frequently, so sign up to receive periodic updates as we add information. We welcome feedback and contributions of practical material to help business people be more effective in the knowledge economy.
