The Intellectual Capital Realization Process (ICRP): An Application of the Resource-based View of the Firm

摘要

The intellectual capital realization process (ICRP) provides managers with a method that permits them to identify intellectual capital (IC) elements of their organizations, classify them, assess their characteristics, and determine specific developmental strategies based upon these characteristics. Reference is made to two organizations in this article, to promote understanding of this approach, as well as to provide concrete examples of the ICRP steps and results. Discussion focuses upon similarities and differences between the ICRP and the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm.
