Purpose

The purpose of the International Forum on Knowledge Asset Dynamics was to create a ‘cognitive laboratory’ for discussing and learning about the role, theory and practice of knowledge asset management for sustaining organisations’ value creation dynamics. The focus of the forum is mainly on management issues and it is going to bring together research students, young researchers, academics, managers and policy makers interested in understanding the knowledge foundations of performance improvements, business success and wealth creation.

Among others, the forum focused on the exploration of the following main topics: exploring the concepts of intellectual capital; identifying and understanding knowledge assets as value drivers for wealth creation; analysing the organisation dynamic capabilities and competence renewal; linking knowledge asset management to organisational performance improvement; the challenges of measuring, visualising and managing knowledge assets and intellectual capital
