The document discusses intellectual capital (IC) and some perspectives on intangibles. It poses questions about the nature of IC and explores how market dynamics and organizational structures are changing. It then outlines a 4-phase IC growth model involving visualizing IC, increasing human capital, transforming human capital into structural capital, and injecting structural capital externally. The phases are said to result in stock market appreciation as transparency and future earnings potential increase.

Cultivating a Global Mindset
I define globalization as sourcing capital from where it is cheapest, sourcing talent
from where it is best available, producing where it is most cost effective and selling
where the markets are without being constrained by national boundaries.

Individuals differ in how they sense and interpret the world around them. So do
organizations. And these differences matter. They matter because it is how we perceive
our environment as well as ourselves that determines which of the multitude of
opportunities and problems we go after and how we do so.

Consider, for example, this
seemingly simple question: “What is Marriott’s market share in the lodging business?”
The answer, or answers, would depend on your perception of the company’s relevant
opportunity space: the North American hotel market, the global hotel market, or the
global lodging market including not only hotels but also other forms of lodging, such
as apartments, college dormitories, and even prisons.
As part of our ongoing research on the global corporation, we posed the following
question to the CEO of one of the world’s largest
pharmaceutical corporations: “What are the three things that might keep you awake at
night?” His response: “First, people development. Second, setting business priorities
to make sure that the short term doesn’t drive out the long term. And, third, setting
the tone for creating a global mindset.” Although their words may differ, other CEOs
and senior executives echo this viewpoint.

Any company that wants to emerge as the global leader in its industry has to lead in
three tasks: discovering new market opportunities, establishing presence in key
markets, and converting such presence into global competitive advantage. How does
one do that in today’s environment? Rooted in the premise that managers pursue only
those market and resource opportunities that they discern, we would contend that a
deeply embedded global mindset is a prerequisite for global industry dominance. As
Sam Palmisano, CEO of IBM Corporation, observed:
Today, for the first time in human history, everything is connected. There are a
billion people and hundreds of millions of businesses on the World Wide Web. And,
the Web has emerged as much more than a connectivity medium. It has become a
global platform of work Think back to how we at IBM historically developed leaders
all over the world. That model worked well if you put most of your global mission in
the ‘home country’—in our case the U.S.—and installed strong local leaders heading
up local country organizations. In other words, management was still largely
defined by national .

The paper shows that the standing of theory in the field of mergers and acquisitions is weak for at least three reasons. Research is best described as a battlefield of ad hoc theory testing leaving behind a fragmented field. Research has focused traditionally on high intensity markets under the Anglo-Saxon variant of capitalism. Empirical evaluation is prone to be inexact and suffers among other from significant aggregation problems between the micro (firm performance) and macro level (economic growth). The deficiencies in the standing of theory will be reflected in weak institutions to handle the political processes concerning value, liquidity, efficiency and fairness aspects that affect the market for corporate assets within and across different variants of capitalism.

JIC
1,1 Some perspectives on
intangibles and intellectual
capital 2000
12 Leif Edvinsson
UNIC (Universal Networking Intellectual Capital), Stockholm, Sweden
Keywords Intellectual capital, Organizational structure, Human capital
Abstract After posing some questions regarding the nature of intellectual capital, the paper
explores IC through observing the changes in market dynamics and organizational structure. An
IC growth model is discussed which involves visualizing IC, human capital injection, human
capital transformation into structural capital, and structural capital injection.
Emerging questions ± a kind of IC quest
When thinking about intellectual capital, the following questions come to mind:
. What are the hidden value drivers of nations or regions? Does the old
economics help to explain this?
. Do we really see or have a taxonomy to describe the value drivers of
companies on the stock exchange?
. How do we explain the growing gap between market capitalization
value and book value?
. Is there another pattern of value creation and new business logic
emerging, other than the often-quoted value chain logic?
. Is IC about value creation versus cost savings? Is it about outside the
firm versus inside the firm? Is it about communities or corporations?
. Is IC only about knowledge and competence management? Or is it about
future earnings capabilities and potentials?
Some market observations
It might look as if there is a new economy. But could it just be a new sphere for
value creation? The so-called intangible sphere or intellectual capital sphere.
Looking at some of the investment patterns in the USA, based on research
from Professor Baruch Lev (1997) at Stern University, New York, shows a very
different investment perspective since 1929. Then approximately 70 per cent of
the USA investments went into tangible goods and some 30 per cent into
intangibles. However, by 1990 this pattern was inverted, and today the
dominant investments, both in the USA and Sweden, go into intangibles, such
as R&D, education and competencies, IT software and the Internet. On average,
Journal of Intellectual Capital, more than 10 per cent of GDP in OECD countries is estimated to go into
Vol. 1 No. 1, 2000, pp. 12-16.
# MCB University Press, 1469-1930 intangibles or IC. For countries like Sweden this input is estimated to be more
2. than 20 per cent of GDP. It is becoming more and more essential to visualize the Intangibles and
IC of nations. intellectual
This is also reflected in stock prices. According to Professor Baruch Lev capital 2000
(1997) , the average relationship between market value and book value in the
late 1970s was one time, in the mid-1990s it had increased to an average of three
times, and now it is more than six times the book value. For some companies,
like America Online (AOL) and Microsoft, around 90 per cent of their market 13
capitalization value is in intangibles. Such intangibles or IC might be visualized
systematically as has been done by Skandia, as well as Turn IT, a stock market
listed company in Stockholm.
Furthermore, a big proportion of the global stock market value is in PC
companies, estimated to have a joint market capitalization of some US$6,000
billion. This value might then be contrasted by the global market capitalization
of Internet companies, estimated to be only US$1,000 billion, i.e. around 15 per
cent of that for PC companies. What will the future earnings potential of those
companies be versus PC companies?
These aspects are leading, among other things, to the fact that a growing
proportion of policy and political initiatives, both at the company and society
level, often are distorted due to lack of a relevant map of statistics, accounting
figures related to intangibles, value impact and effectiveness. Therefore,
several global initiatives, such as that of the Brookings Institute in
Washington, are addressing these issues.
Some organizational observations
Industrial value chain processes no longer dominate value creation. Value
creation is in the shaping of information, knowledge and innovations ±
sometimes grouped under the label of intellectual properties (IP). Value creation
or value extraction of such intangibles is also often done through another
business logic in the shape of value constellations with temporary role
participants, leading experts or unique artists. The flow is increasingly going
digital in the form of e-commerce. This new type of value transaction has been
projected to grow some 15 times over the next three years. The metaphor for
this transition is sometimes described as a shift from bricks and mortars to
clicks and portals.
In this emerging business world, small business operations interacting in
knowledge clusters and global networks employ and engage people, while
large corporations deploy them, The average proportion of self-employed
people, often referred to as knowledge nomads, in the Group of Seven countries
is estimated to be 11 per cent by Hamish Mcrae, London. In the UK this figure is
already 15 per cent. Just imagine the potential trend in Asia for free, self-
organizing knowledge nomads. Furthermore, Asia is expected to have about
100 per cent more Internet users than the USA within five years. The new
economical sphere will be shaped by the soon-to-be 700 million new users in
myriads of organizational combinations solving old problems, shaping new
opportunities.
3. JIC This trend will change the way value-creating interactions are done. New
1,1 organizational rules will emerge, such as much looser organizational structures
based on the Internet. The Internet is described by Eric S. Raymond less as a
global cathedral and more as a self-organizing bazaar. Sometimes described as
chaordic ones by Dee W. Hock (1999), they are characterized by a combination
of order and chaos. It is also a tremendous power shift, challenging traditional
14 management of both corporations and societies to a transformation policy ± to
see the options to reshape the existing to something new and better. Old
intangibles and intellectual properties such as brands might get new values
through mergers with new companies with global soft technology assets. One
illustration of this is the merger between Time Warner and AOL.
The value creation is going to be in shaping new ideas, exchanging
information globally, and interacting through networks with high
organizational speed in order to take action. Therefore, it might be more
relevant to visualize the new economical sphere from a biological perspective,
as a nervous system with energy flows and cells being split, mutated and
evolving. It describes life, renewal and movements. Consequently, it will
highlight the institutional failures versus the emerging global networks.
According to the report by Stall from the corporate executive board in
Washington, 45 per cent of failure is related to strategic neglect, 38 per cent is
related to organizational ineffectiveness and only 17 per cent is related to
exogenous factors. In other words, a lack of organizational renewal or bad
organizational float.
Owing to demographical development there is also an emerging talent war.
One of the leadership consequences is the need to focus competence and talent
inflow by development of organizational or societal attractiveness, instead of
competitiveness as a key driver for value constellations and value networks.
This will result in more and more management attention on culture, values,
ethos and story telling around intangibles (versus traditional historical cost
accounting). Sometimes this is also described as an emerging Dream Society,
according to Professor Rolf Jensen (1999), Copenhagen, Denmark, in a recent
book with the same title.
Global growth curve of IC
The following pattern of market capitalization growth and IC global growth
phases might be discernible. They are based on the above global context
evolution and the personal experiences of being the world's first director of
intellectual capital, starting in 1991 at Skandia AFS. There the IC value has
grown from a very minimal value in the early 1990s into some US$15 billion at
the beginning of the year 2000.
This might be a guiding vision based on the IC logic of sustainable earnings,
to be seen as a tree with roots to be cultivated for the future financial fruits, and
as the IC value scheme with its various IC components, as well as the extended
organizational capital development prototyped in the Skandia Future Center
(see Figure 1).

value over time
Time
Each phase often results in a stock market appreciation shift, based on
increased transparency, as well as new expectations from the future value
creation of the intangibles investment.
Phase one is very much about the visualization of intangibles from a
reporting perspective. This is supplementary accounting, now being called for
by some organizations, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
in the USA. A special methodology for this has been developed as an IC rating
by Intellectual Capital Sweden AB (www.intellectualcapital.se).
Phase two is very much focused on human capital injection, often labelled
competence adding or knowledge management. It is both the search for talents
to be added, e.g. by mergers between companies, and the effectiveness from
knowledge sharing and installation of IT based knowledge systems, or
emerging knowledge exchanges such as www.knexa.com
The third phase is the systematic transformation of human capital into
structural capital as a multiplier, with much more sustainable earnings potential
for the organization. It is a refined approach based on the second phase, but
very much focused on the packaging of knowledge into recipes to be shared
globally and rapidly. It is a shift of leadership focus from human capital on to
structural capital as a multiplier for the human talents. The IC multiplier is to
offer organizational springboards to human talents. This is very much the case
of Skandia AFS, also described in their 1998 IC report, called Human Capital in
Transformation (www.skandia.com).
The fourth phase is structural capital injection externally. It is a turbo effect
on the IC multiplier by combining different types of structural capital
constellations for co-creation of new opportunities. It is expanding the space of
co-creation as the unique space of imagination, and organizational stretch
where human capital and structural capital meet. As discussed by Kevin Kelly
in his book on the Digital Economy (Kelly, 1999), here the marginal cost is zero
while the upside is on the revenue potentials. One illustration of this is the
recent merger between AOL and Time Warner, combining different
organizational capital components with complementary customer capital
5. JIC potentials. Another illustration might be the proposed Deutsche Bank and
1,1 Mannesman alliance for new mobile and Internet banking. It is a shift of
perspective from a local and physical focus to a global and intangible focus that
will shape innovative prime movers. There also is the new, more intangible
intellectual entrepreneurship, such as in the TIME (telecom, informatics, media
and entertainment) sector.
16 These discernible phases of global IC growth are gradually increasing the
value creation potential of organizations. The intangible or hidden values of the
organizational competencies will be developed around fast learning,
organizational networking and relationship building, as well as ethos and
aesthetics for the brain, leading to more of a symbolic management and
meaning of leadership.
The challenge for the IC leadership, both on a corporate level and society
level, is therefore both to shape the context for these growth phases, each of
them being a huge challenge, and also to communicate these intangible value
phases to the stakeholders in a repetitive, auditable and trustworthy way. Just
as the old accounting system might be viewed as the first generation of
knowledge management tools, now it is time for another generation focused on
intellectual capital.
