Knowledge Management and Measurement

Abstract

There is increasing pressure for companies to measure intellectual assets and recent statements by leading financial business leaders describe why this is the case.

We’re very much moving into a knowledge-based economy, and the proper measuring and accounting of assets that create wealth in a knowledge-based economy is critical. It is the whole underlying foundation of our economy going forward. [Steven Wallman, former Commissioner, Securities and Exchange Commission] (Skyrme, 1998, p. 13)
