Intellectual capital (IC) or Wissensbilanz process: some German experiences

Intellectual capital (IC) or Wissensbilanz process: some German experiences Purpose – This article aims to summarise a successful, pioneering prototyping project in Germany with IC statements, supported by the German Ministry of Labour and Economics (BMWA). Design/methodology/approach – A systematic process view method has been applied. A special impact scoring method generates a map, enabling management to determine where they should give executive priority for intellectual capital investment. Findings – Most of the participating companies would like to have a more standardized Wissensbilanz with indicators for added value in order to use the tool as a complimentary report (management report) for the purpose of external reporting as well as comparison. Originality/value – The project has now inspired some 100 enterprises of different types and is now spreading outside Germany. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Intellectual Capital Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Purpose – This article aims to summarise a successful, pioneering prototyping project in Germany with IC statements, supported by the German Ministry of Labour and Economics (BMWA). Design/methodology/approach – A systematic process view method has been applied. A special impact scoring method generates a map, enabling management to determine where they should give executive priority for intellectual capital investment. Findings – Most of the participating companies would like to have a more standardized Wissensbilanz with indicators for added value in order to use the tool as a complimentary report (management report) for the purpose of external reporting as well as comparison. Originality/value – The project has now inspired some 100 enterprises of different types and is now spreading outside Germany.
