Matt's intuition about IC leverage alludes to Tobin's Q Ratio - as does Abhijit's post.  Rather than getting to a definition of IC, the Nobel winner simply pointed to the divergence beween book and market values.  The…

Matt, The concept of leveraging Intellectual Capital for business growth is not in doubt - however giving a quantitative shape to this idea has been found wanting. This subject in fact has been the focus of my studies for the past four years and I…

I'm afraid that revenue per employee could be gamed too easily. If you outsource more work, then your ratio would go up but that wouldn't necessarily improve your use of IC.   It could be one of several data points that together paint…

Matt Evans replied to Mauro Gatti's discussion 'The many values of intangible assets'

There are 4 factors that are challenges for small business owners. -In the U.S., there is a mindset among many business entrepreneurs that if you build it they will come.  This seems to be more myth than fact.  Selling is not respected so…

Matt,   The IC Leverage ratio you describe appears to lend itself well to explaining the concept of collaborative advantage in scaling up an organisation's capacity (from a smaller core HC base as you have mentioned) - how…

This is a great example of why IC is a holistic concept. The differences between two businesses and their benefits streams are not just a function of people or process or customer group or brand. It's a function of all three.    The…
