Knowledge and Intellectual Capital. Symposium 13. [Concurrent Symposium Session at AHRD Annual Conference, 2000.]

Three presentations are provided from Symposium 13, Knowledge and Intellectual Capital, of the Academy of Human Resource Development (HRD) 2000 Conference proceedings. "Human Capital Measurement" (Joanne Provo) begins with a literature review that provides a context for understanding how investments in human capital add value to the firm, discusses evaluation techniques, and cautions against using financial measurement systems for human capital investment analysis. It reviews an alternative approach to the positioning of HR investments and presents a process HR professionals can initiate to demonstrate value of investment in human capital initiatives. "Measures and Indicators of Intangible Assets for Research Institutes and Colleges: A Literature Review" (Eunsang Cho, Gary N. McLean) explores definitions, measures, and indicators of intangible assets. A model is provided for customization by research institutes and colleges. "The Corporate Curriculum: A Working-Learning Environment" (Jaap van Lakerveld, Joukje van den Berg, Kees de Brabander, Joseph Kessels) focuses on development of a corporate curriculum for learning in service organizations, health care, business, and industry in the context of a knowledge economy. It is both a theoretical framework and a report of the second phase of a three-phase research project conducted in the Netherlands in 42 institutions for public health and welfare. The papers contain reference sections. (YLB)
