Abstract

Over the past few decades, intangible assets, such as knowledge, patents, and innovation, have been identified as fundamental sources of wealth and progress. These assets represent a major concern for business firms, their stakeholders, policy makers and world organisations for proper positioning in the world competition and for wise resource allocation. As a result, measuring the intangibles has become a challenge. This paper reports a validated national intellectual capital measurement model, consisting human capital, market capital, process capital, renewal capital and financial capital that enables nations to conduct comparisons, benchmarking, refining and re-orienting national development strategies for sustaining their competitive advantages. The national intellectual capital ranking for 41 countries and their dynamic development are also elaborated.
