3. Methods of identifying IC
Manual content analysis
Develop the categories of IC
Coding (put IC-related information into the classification based on the selected criterion )
Counting the number of IC items
Advantages Disadvantages
Offer a technique of gathering data Time-consuming
Benefit stakeholder and legitimacy theory Personal bias involved in the process of coding
Bridge the academic and practical world The complexity of IC is ignored
4. Methods of identifying IC
Automatic content analysis
1.Electronic search (Bontis, 2003)
2.Software ”Concordance” (Oliveras et al. 2008)
3.Off-the-shelf tool “Factiva” (Lee& Guthrie, 2010)
Advantages Disadvantages
Save time and labor (123) Ignore the synonyms
Identify practical IC terms (3) Fail to map with concrete classification
Difficult to replicate
14. (Mouritsen, 2009)
separate
Training- human capital -skills
Training- structural capital –information technology
Training- relational capital - customer
15. IC taxonomy
Identify actual IC reports from Knowledge-intensive Organizations
Collect IC indicators from the IC reports can be found
Count the instants of indicators across the different organizations and years and then choose the
most commonly used one
Do a Manual content analysis for IC indicators to identify the IC-related keywords and mapping
with the most appropriate IC category (Human capital, Structural capital, Relational capital)
Establish the IC taxonomy
16. Our Goal (3)
To produce dynamic IC reporting (√)
To recognize the complexity of IC through tagging keywords (√)
To establish IC eco-system by mobilizing IC
