Intellectual Capital Management as a Driver of Sustainability

Abstract

One of the most important challenges faced by governments is to develop tangible public plans in coproduction with society. This is even a more complex task in Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) public plans, due to the intangibility and the lack of value perception by society. In this chapter, we present the development and the application of a framework to coproduction of ST&I public plans. The methodology initiates with participants from all innovation sectors. First, they discuss and decide about the status of their regional ST&I system (regarding institutionalization, regional development, market, infrastructure, education, science, technology and innovation). Then, the groups elaborate proposals to foster their regional ST&I systems in terms of Intellectual Capital (human, structural, relational and social capital), governance and dynamic inducers. In the last phase, academic, governmental, industrial and social organizational institutional representatives analyze these demands and offer goals and actions, later organized as a ST&I strategic map. We have applied the framework in Santa Catarina state (Brazil). More than 1000 ST&I players from six regions developed 450 proposals analyzed by 27 academic, governmental, industrial and social organizational institutional representatives. The result was a state strategic map with 34 goals and 65 actions to foster ST&I regional system.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Available at: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english-portuguese/perception.

  2. 2.

    Since there are 8 dimensions and 36 factors to be evaluated, each group should work at 2 (two) dimensions at most. The distribution can repeat some dimensions so more than one group (preferentially the Value-Generating Factors) will evaluate them.

  3. 3.

    All information and documents relevant to the survey should be taken into account (Bardin, 2009).

  4. 4.

    It allows to admit a sample process of the content, as long as it is pertinent to the whole (Bardin, 2009).

  5. 5.

    Although the documents generated for the collection may have specific research criteria, it is important that they present similar collection criteria to avoid distinct processes of analysis (Bardin, 2009).

  6. 6.

    The documents should point to criteria that corroborate the purpose of the analysis (Bardin, 2009).
