{"product_id":"intellectual-capital-in-organizations-patricia-ordozez-de-pablos-9780415737821","title":"Intellectual Capital in Organizations: Non-Financial Reports and Accounts","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a global competitive economic environment, resources that are scarce or irreplicable are a source of sustained competitive advantage for companies and organizations. Knowledge-based resources are a major and increasing driver of long term competitive advantage. Most accounting standards however do not allow for knowledge-based resource calculations, including the most important of these, intellectual capital. Intellectual capital is the collective knowledge, documented and otherwise, of individuals in an organization. In the absence of accounting standards to numerically evaluate intellectual capital, some institutions have devised their own reports and statements. But why should companies, universities, and research centers measure these resources? How are intellectual capital statements built? How does one set targets, and what indicators should they include? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book reviews the development of the field of intellectual capital reporting, including core concepts, latest developments, the main components of intellectual capital, how a statement is built, and key indicators of each component. It further analyzes experiences from a variety of pioneering companies and institutions around the globe in measuring intellectual capital, including case studies from educational and research institutions, and provides crucial transnational comparisons. Authors Ordóñez de Pablos and Edvinsson examine the challenges and next steps for the harmonization of intellectual capital reports, consider the creation of a special international agency for intellectual capital reporting standards, and evaluate the weaknesses of current standards and how they might be overcome. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Ordoñez de Pablos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415737826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415737821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Patricia Ordoñez de Pablos","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136113979647,"sku":"9780415737821","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b25d3669-2b33-4dac-9ac4-4c5d94cc29f3.jpg?v=1770160602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intellectual-capital-in-organizations-patricia-ordozez-de-pablos-9780415737821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
